Recognizing that autologous arteriovenous fistula use was associated with improved outcomes in hemodialysis patients, the 1997 Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) vascular access practice guidelines from the National Kidney Foundation stressed fistulas as the optimal means of dialysis vascular access.

The Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) is launching the DOPPS Practice Monitor (DPM) to provide up-to-date trends in clinical care as the new Prospective Payment System (PPS) for renal dialysis services is implemented in January 2011.
The DPM initiative will feature a publicly available website that will provide timely reports aggregating data from over 140 U.S. dialysis facilities and describing trends in many different clinical aspects of hemodialysis practice across the country. Data will be updated every four months, with only a three-to-four-month lag between data collection and Web posting. The DPM website is available at http://www.dopps.org/DPM beginning November 15. In December 2010, new reports will be added, representing data through August 2010. Additional features and content will be released on the site over the first several months of operation.
