The following Reports are created under contract to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide dialysis facilities, patients, state surveyors, and/or regions with valuable information on patient characteristics, treatment patterns, hospitalization, mortality, and transplantation patterns in their facilities.
Both DFR and DFCC reports include information about directly actionable practice patterns such as dose of dialysis, vascular access, and anemia management, as well as patient outcomes (such as mortality, hospitalization, and transplantation) that can be used to inform and motivate reviews of practices. The information in the report facilitates comparisons of facility patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes to local and national averages. Such comparisons help to evaluate patient outcomes and to account for important differences in the patient mix - including age, sex, race, and patients’ diabetic status - which in turn enhances each facility’s understanding of the clinical experience relative to other facilities in the state, Network, and nation. A sample of each report may be downloaded from the DFR and DFCC Methodology sections of this web site.
In addition, State and Region Profiles include maps and tables comparing state or region information as well as the Dialysis Facility Reports for every facility in the state or region with facility comments appended.
For each report, only authorized users can access the facility reports by logging in to the secure site. Dialysis facilities are encouraged to submit comments during the comment period on the secure site if they have questions or concerns regarding their reports.
