Key success factors for a quality peritoneal dialysis program.

The success of a peritoneal dialysis (PD) program depends on a multitude of factors that are interlinked and inseparable from one another. Each program needs to identify its special circumstances, deficiencies, and strong points, and then to strategize accordingly. Ultimately, "teamwork" is the mantra for a successful outcome, the patient being central to all endeavors. A belief and a passion for PD are the fountainhead and cornerstone on which to build a quality PD program.
