For-profit kidney dialysis facilities cut corners that cause as many as 2,500 more deaths each year than non-profit centers, according to a meta-analysis to be published Wednesday.
In a paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers from Canada’s McMaster University and the University at Buffalo said that because for-profit centers pay taxes and must find ways to earn money to satisfy shareholders, they squeeze operations by hiring less staff and making each dialysis session shorter than at non-profits. Nurse and technician wages account for about 70% of dialysis costs, according to the researchers.
