System and a method for providing integrated access management for peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis

A computer program on a computer readable medium for organizing information about a patient undergoing a plurality of therapies for kidney disease, the computer program comprising:

• logic for accepting and storing information about the patient in a computer database;
• logic for organizing the information for presentation in a plurality of screens, wherein each screen presents information pertinent to a particular aspect of the care;
• and
• logic for presenting information about at least one of a renal peritoneal dialysis access management system and a renal hemodialysis access management system, wherein the information is presented in the plurality of screens and wherein access refers to a medical device providing access to the peritoneal cavity or the vascular system of the patient, the plurality of screens including at least:
• (i) an access summary screen including an implant date, an implant method, an implant location, an implant physician and a summary of patient problems sorted by infection problems and non-infection problems, and
• (ii) an access implant detail screen including:
• (a) at least one item of information selected from the group consisting of:
• physician, date, location, facility, facility type, first use, graft type and graft configuration and (b) if the implant has been removed or abandoned, at least one item of information selected from the group consisting of:
• a physician that removed the implant, a date the implant was removed, a location the implant was removed and a reason the implant was removed.

A method for reporting and displaying information about a patient undergoing a plurality of therapies for kidney disease using a system comprising at least one input device, at least one display device, at least one memory device and at least one processor, the method comprising:

• entering information about the patient using the at least one input device and storing the information about the patient in the at least one memory device;
• the processor organizing the information for presentation in a plurality of screens, wherein each screen presents information pertinent to a particular aspect of the care;
• and
• the at least one display device displaying information in:
• (i) an access summary including an implant date, an implant method, an implant location, an implant physician and a summary of patient problems sorted by infection problems and non-infection problems,
• (ii) a treatment summary,
• (iii) a hospitalization summary, and
• (iv) an access implant detail summary including:
• (a) at least one item of information selected from the group consisting of physician, date, location, facility, facility type, first use, graft type and graft configuration and (b) if the implant has been removed or abandoned, at least one item of information selected from the group consisting of:
• a physician that removed the implant, a date the implant was removed, a location the implant was removed and a reason the implant was removed, wherein access refers to a medical device providing access to the peritoneal cavity or the vascular system of the patient.
