Annual Patient Evaluation

Each patient shall be evaluated at least annually by an interdisciplinary team composed of a physician, nurse, social worker, dietician or others involved in the care of the patient as to the appropriateness and effectiveness of the treatment received and the need for continuation of or change in treatment. Such consideration shall include evaluation of the appropriateness of at least home dialysis, self-dialysis and transplantation. A record of each evaluation is to be made part of the patient’s clinical record.
