Readmission of patients with end-stage kidney diseases can be avoided by following these steps
1- Appropriate and timely outpatient follow-up and patient/caregiver education at the point of discharge
2- Make sure that there is a formalized coordination effort between hospital and dialysis facilities before discharging the patient.
3- Early physical assessment after a hospitalization can greatly reduce rehospitalization risk. In one study, delayed primary-care physician follow-up after hospitalization was associated with a nearly 10- fold increase in 30-day readmission.

5- Proper training and education to existing staff and dedicated personnel to coordinate patient care during and after index hospital discharge.
