Striving to Achieve an Integrated Home Dialysis System: A Report from the Ontario Renal Network Home Dialysis Attrition Task Force.

The integrated home dialysis model has been proposed as an optimal model of care for patients with ESRD ([1][1]). It involves the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) followed by a timely switch to home hemodialysis (HD) if a kidney transplant is not available. Globally, the use of a PD first
