When Dr. Pagiel Shechter established
Intensive Renal Care in 2001, he wanted to create a new concept in the
private freestanding chronic dialysis industry. During the last decades,
the chronic dialysis units have been suffering from heavy cuts in their
quality of services, dictated by tight reimbursement constraints, imposed
by Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately this lead to the development
of some bad habits such as understaffing, cutting corners in techniques
such as the reuse, cutting dialysis times and hiring under trained personnel.
Another negative trend was the acquisition of most of the freestanding
units by huge national conglomerates. The latter lead to total loss
of the sensitivity to patients needs, development of rigid centrally
imposed corporate protocols, and total loss of the significance of the
Nephrologist in the sensitive decision making process of caring for
patients with end-stage renal disease. Our purpose is to restore all
the lost good qualities of privately owned dialysis treatment without
compromise in the standards of care. We underwent a painstaking process
in our evolution in order to reach this goal. But the end result is
thrilling.Our patients are happy and loyal. We carry over our enthusiastic
approach to our acute team, who serve inpatients. We deliver the same
message of combining the best technologies with humanistic, caring and
responsible service.We encourage all patients and their Nephrologists
to try us.Another significant approach was the emphasis on smaller size
unit, in order to restore patients comfort and warm feeling. We
are opposed to the concept of putting patients in huge warehouse-like
structures, where patients identity is lost.We have no doubt that
our efforts will bear fruits, leading other units to adopt our concepts,
of restoring the good qualities of patient care in dialysis.Dialysis
