On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with Virginia Wang, PhD, and Matthew L. Maciejewski, PhD, both faculty at the Duke University School of Medicine and researchers in the Durham VA Health Care System, as they discuss their study published in the March issue of The American Journal of Managed Care®, titled “Have Racial Disparities in Home Dialysis Utilization Changed Over Time?

Wang and Maciejewski discuss what they and their coauthors found regarding home dialysis utilization, how racial disparities in its use still persist, and why home dialysis is an important measure of care quality.
