After-treatment pickup planning

Protect the Dialysis Return Ride

Treatment does not always end at exactly the same minute. A recurring transportation plan should define what happens after each session so the passenger, dialysis center and transportation provider have the same expectation.

  • Fixed pickup time when appropriate
  • Pickup window after expected release
  • Call-when-ready instructions
  • Center or responsible contact
  • Companion or receiving-person plan
  • Procedure for late treatment completion
