Reversing the decreasing peritoneal dialysis (PD) trend in Ontario: A government initiative to increase PD use in Ontario to 30% by 2010

Abstract

In September 2005, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care established the Provincial PD Coordinating Committee to make recommendations to increase the use of PD among prevalent dialysis patients in Ontario from the present 18% to 30% by 2010. In the present paper, we describe the process through which the Committee produced its recommendations and we highlight the proposed implementation plan.
