HHD Patient Workbook Updated with Key Improvements
Submitted by: Salma Wadhwania
The Home Hemodialysis (HHD) Patient Workbook has been comprehensively revised by BC Renal, in collaboration with the BC Home Hemodialysis Educators Group. This updated edition aligns with current provincial standards and guidelines, integrates evidence‑informed clinical practice, and uses clearer, more patient‑centred language. Expanded content includes enhanced guidance on safety devices, vascular access care, troubleshooting, medication management, and emergency preparedness. The revised format supports consistent clinical education and practice across BC Renal home hemodialysis programs, while strengthening patient understanding, self‑management skills, and confidence in managing home hemodialysis.
The HHD Patient Workbook can be found in the Health Info > Home Hemodialysis section of the BC Renal website in English, Chinese and Punjabi.
