UKC Services for Patients
For Short Term Rehab Facilities:
Patients with kidney diseases and congestive heart failure (CHF) have a high risk of rehospitalization particularly due to cardio-renal syndrome and acute kidney failure. These patients require close monitoring & frequent medication adjustments. Our providers are available round-the-clock to assist our patients during times of need. We work closely with our partner facilities and staff cardiologists to provide Onsite as well as Online Transitional Kidney Care Management to reduce hospital readmissions and keep patients healthy with out any hassle of travel and its related costs.
For Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) and Long-term Care Facilities:
The incidence of Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) and uncontrolled hypertension in the geriatric population is very high and is known to increase morbidity and mortality. With the increase of these problems with day-to-day activities, early detection and close follow-ups are required for optimal outcomes. We provide exceptional Onsite Nephrology services for patients in ALF, Independent Living Facilities (ILF) , and Long-Term Care Facilities. This increases accessibility while eliminating travel and office waiting time. In addition, the family members of the patients can join their appointment sessions using our telemedicine portal, which grants access for these family members to stay up to date with the treatment process.
Onsite Dialysis Care
We work with dialysis provider companies so that patients can get dialysis care at their place of residence, which can be either their home (Home Hemodialysis or Peritoneal dialysis) or in nursing homes or prisons (in-house dialysis). It improves patient’s satisfaction, saves time and costs by reducing frequent travelling to and from outpatient dialysis centers.
For Rural Areas Hospitals
Many Rural areas hospitals do not have round the clock nephrology services required to provide Kidney diseases related consultations in emergency situations and such patients usually need to be transferred to other hospitals. UKC provides on-demand consultation for such facilities.
For Rural Area Primary Care Clinics
Patients residing in rural areas where there are shortage of nephrologists, usually need to travel long distances to see their physicians and have to wait for longer period. UKC provides its online services to such patients by collaboration care with primary care or multispecialty clinics in such areas and utilizing SmartClinix technology platform.
Prisons and Correctional Facilities
Patients in prisons are usually at high risk for kidney diseases mainly due to neglect and non-compliance. UKC provides online clinic service at such facilities and not only help patients but also facilities by avoiding hefty travel arrangements to the physicians’ offices or dialysis centers.
Home and Self-Pay Patients
We also provide online consultation for our home-based patients as well as self-pay patients (who do not have an insurance). Such patients can request appointment and schedule their consultation using dedicated patient portal.
