Quality Management

To achieve the appropriate integration of these quality requirements into our structured processes.
A core element of our quality management system consists of corporate directives specifying key requirements for the processes in our NephroCare organisation, e.g. by setting standards for hygiene and infection control, good dialysis care, water, concentrate and dialysis fluid for haemodialysis and related therapies.

Clinical and Operational Performance

In order to provide sustainable and value-based healthcare, our multidisciplinary center teams of different professions come together to jointly manage our dialysis centers.
Monitoring tools support our professionals to measure the achievement of performance targets. It serves to guide continuous improvement.

Clinic Information System

No improvement without data. EuCliD®, NephroCare’s proprietary clinical management system provides comprehensive information of each dialysis treatment and patient, allowing the medical staff in the NephroCare centres to take the right decisions to improve the treatment for each individual patient.

It facilitates the day-to-day work of the clinical staff, integrating processes into the data collection flow.
Directly linked to the dialysis machines, the monitoring system feeds patient data and medical parameters from dialysis sessions into the data management system, which also checks the data for completeness and plausibility.

Remember:
All data is collected under strict adherence to data protection regulations and is stored anonymously to prevent identification of individual patients.
