Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease is a process where the gradual loss of kidney function leads to an increase in the amount of metabolic waste and the dsyregulation of fluid status. At later stages, the amount of toxins and fluid that can buildup are potentially life threatening. This condition can only be repaired with “renal replacement therapy,” a process that bypasses the failing kidneys and helps remove these accumulated toxins.
Modern World
Based on this population / disease trajectory, the need for access to kidney disease healthcare systems will be necessary throughout Central America and South America. As innovation continues to accelerate at a rapid pace and our need to take care of more patients arises, our communities will not only need healthcare systems but ones that are able to rapidly pivot based on innovation, technologies, and medical research.
Project Development
We will implement a program that exceeds regulatory requirements and develop an accountability system to ensure ongoing compliance. We have custom real-time auditing systems in place allowing us to view organizational trends across the spectrum of healthcare services. Our customized IT systems are capable of real-time detection of potential quality issues and clinical error. Therefore, we work to prevent compliance problems from accumulating with these accountability solutions.
Competency
We administer background checks and competency exams on all staff including nurses, biomedical technicians, and patient care technicians. Furthermore, an annual skills checklist is completed on all staff members. Azuris Dialysis will administer training and competency examinations on patient health information privacy and HIPAA / HITECH regulations on an annual basis and as needed. We will provide all human resources information via secure electronic portal and on- demand.
Quality Controls
We ensure Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) by utilizing thePlan Do Check Act (PCDA) cycle to address areas of regulatory compliance issues as well as clinical opportunities for improvement. Throughout the year, our interdisciplinary team identifies, assesses, and reviews targeted areas such as water quality, medication errors, appropriate fluid removal, site access, treatment delays, and equipment maintenance.
Using evidence-based practice, findings are shared with the team and incorporated into company policies accordingly. Additionally, Root CauseAnalysis methodology is in place and employed as needed.
Modern Solutions
All our systems utilize state-of-the art IT systems to ensure there is no data loss and that all data is transmitted securely. We place a tremendous amount of value on patient health information and client data privacy. Furthermore, our systems help us respond rapidly to changes in the environment, client need, and the delivery of quality care. Only technological changes can help medical staff keep up with the rapidly changing clinical arena, and we are focused on continuing to evolve and improve all our systems.
Team
Who We Are
Azuris Dialysis is dedicated to creating an authentic patient experience and delivering a modern product consistently to our healthcare partners. We will continue to evolve and help differentiate ourselves from the competition because we truly believe that no project is ever “completed” – we can always do better.
Dialysis
Focus On Patient Experience
Our dialysis service lines are very comprehensive and have a track record of delivering exceptional care. We know that “one size does NOT fit all” – and we value thorough cultural and community assessments to create the best healthcare delivery model.
In-Hospital
Dialysis
We provide total dialysis solutions for hospitals and in-patient facilities.
We partner with inpatient hospital systems and work closely with all staff including nursing supervisors, quality managers, and hospital executives. We communicate all quality data routinely. By utilizing a custom- developed electronic medical record keeping system, we can ensure complete and accurate records along with company overview of clinical parameters in real time.
In-Center
Dialysis
Our dialysis facilities & staff focus on integrative patient management.
All our locations are new ultra-modern, technologically advanced, outpatient dialysis facilities. Unlike any other dialysis facility, our dialysis facilities are aimed at modernizing the dialysis experience. All our facilities are state-of-the-art, modern dialysis units provide the ultimate in personalized service and patient comfort.
Home
Dialysis
Home dialysis allows for greater patient treatment flexibility.
We believe, and data has indicated, that outpatient peritoneal dialysis is underutilized. By providing freedom to the patients and allowing them to participate in their own care and treatments, the patients have an improved overall experience with dialysis.
Vascular
Access
We provide comprehensive vascular access services on an outpatient basis.
Vascular access diagnostic and interventional services can be provided as an outpatient – same day – allowing the patient to return for their dialysis treatment and to the comfort of their own homes. Some of these treatments include: AV angiograms, AV angioplasties, thrombectomies, and the insertion and removal of dialysis catheters.

Outpatient Dialysis
Project
Description
Our team members have been integral in the design, development, and management of multiple state-of-the-art dialysis facilities. We have focused on continuously improving and enhancing the patient and staff experience.
Peritoneal Dialysis
Treatment
Description
Patients who choose PD are thoroughly trained to perform the dialysis treatments safely and effectively. Patients are trained to wash their hands before touching their catheters, clean their exit sites every day, wear surgical masks when doing exchanges and check solution bags for contamination. Patients are also trained to spot the signs of an infection, some of which include fever, nausea and/or irritation around the catheter.
Training is given to the patient as well as the patient’s care partner if he or she has someone who will be helping with the PD treatments. A trained PD nurse is available 24 hours per day to answer questions and help troubleshoot minor problems that may arise.
Acute Mobile Dialysis
We accumulate all data regarding patient care and treatment variables. Our core systems is able to detect issues in a real-time method, allowing for rapid changes to protocols and care delivery method. Our IT systems also allow for system maintenance and error detection allowing us to repair machines and systems before they create a delay in care delivery or a fall in quality.
We utilize a centralized and secure communication platform among staff, allowing for rapid group communication, patient health alerts, and calendar / time based staff alerting – all while maintaining a secure platform for patient health information. Staff is available 24 hours per day.
Lastly, the accumulation of data allows our group to report back to hospital administrators and regulators on all quality measures. This helps us not only provide excellent dialysis services in the hospital, but to partner WITH the hospital to make informed healthcare policy decisions.
Vascular Access
Our centers communicate and have the capability of integrating health data with dialysis centers to provide real-time information to facilities and physicians with regards to patient vascular access. Furthermore, our interventionalists routinely communicate with the dialysis center, vascular surgeon, and nephrologist to help coordinate vascular access health.
Training Institute
Program
Description
For a facility or coordinated network of facilities to flourish, the medical staff must be trained in the latest clinical protocols. We can leverage technology and create certified training programs for dialysis nurses, dialysis technicians, vascular access nurses / technicians, and other medical staff.
Our programs are a combination of online training along with onsite training. Our staff have experience in education services along with dialysis and related medical training programs.
All our student evaluations are electronically stored and their certificates are available for all facilities. Furthermore, our facilities have been used by training programs in Texas – for in-service staff education, classroom training, and in-facility training.
Patient Transport
Concept
We can provide safe, reliable, and efficient medical transportation services that allows for healthcare providers to minimize cancelled or rescheduled appointment due to the patient lack of transportation. This will help improve patient experience and satisfaction. This will also limit patient delay in medical care because of a lack of transportation to appointments.
Health IT
Concept
Azuris Dialysis can implement modern, customized physician communication platforms that include intelligent message routing, answering service, and streamlined ability for rapid delivery of data to healthcare providers. These systems include secure chat, phone systems, fax, and document management and storage. We partner with Fortress Cybersecurity and maintain the highest of security standards.
