Özet

The continuous quality improvement approach in peritoneal dialysis practice necessitates definition of the factors and the procedures that may possibly be contributing to the final success of peritoneal dialysis. The philosophy of continuous quality improvement uses the Plan, Do, Check, Act ( PDCA) cycle. To improve the procedures used during peritoneal dialysis, the first step is to create a plan, then to carry out the plan, to check it, and after the collection of satisfactory information, to execute the chosen improvement action.
