An Interprofessional Approach in Caring for a Patient on Maintenance Hemodialysis with COVID-19 in Toronto, Canada: An Educational Case Report	2020-09-08		.txt	text/plain	3322	174	48	INTERVENTIONS: An interprofessional team was established, performing rapid Plan-Do-Study-Act quality improvement cycles to improve screening practices and promote the safety of patients and staff in the hemodialysis unit. It required concerted efforts of the interprofessional team and implementation of rapid Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to continuously adapt our screening and infection control protocols as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, implementing knowledge of viral transmission patterns in each cycle to maintain the safety of our staff and patients in the early phases of this pandemic. Because it was early on in the pandemic, we had not yet established a COVID-19 dialysis protocol in our institution; thus, arrangements were made to have the patient admitted to hospital until isolation practices could be put into place in the outpatient dialysis setting. There were multiple lessons learned from this experience, including complications of COVID-19 critical illness, strategies for discharge planning, and infection control for a novel infectious agent in the outpatient HD setting.	./cache/cord-350200-1w5u3w8i.txt	./txt/cord-350200-1w5u3w8i.txt
