NRHA Webinar: 90 days to Dialysis: How a 24-Bed CAH Built a Sustainable Nephrology Program for Local Patients, September 4

What does it take for a small critical access hospital to launch 24/7 inpatient nephrology – and begin building a community dialysis unit – in just three months?

At McKenzie Health in Watford City, ND, leadership saw the need: 36 dialysis patients in their county and the nearest home dialysis facility 180 miles away. Their response? A strategic, phased approach that started with inpatient nephrology and swing-bed dialysis – and laid the foundation for long-term outpatient expansion.

In this session, Dr. Rubin Chandran – a board-certified nephrologist with 20+ years of rural experience – shares the roadmap any CAH can follow to do the same.

You’ll Learn:

• The 90-day implementation playbook for inpatient nephrology and acute dialysis,
• The “4 Ps” of due diligence: physicians, prevalence, pipeline, and payer mix,
• How to use inpatient services to de-risk outpatient expansion, and
• What it takes to plan, build, and manage a CMS-compliant dialysis unit.

If your hospital is looking to expand care, reduce transfers, and capture new revenue while meeting a critical need – this is your session.
