END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE DIALYSIS FACILITIES
Semiannual Dialysis Report, July 2012
Introduction
The North Carolina 2012 State Medical Facilities Plan requires semiannual
determination of need for new dialysis stations in North Carolina. This approach calls for
publication of “Semiannual Dialysis Reports” (SDR) during January and July. The 2012
North Carolina State Medical Facilities Plan specifies that the Semiannual Dialysis Reports
“…will use facility, station and active patient data as of June 30, 2011 for the ‘January 2012
SDR,’ and as of December 31, 2011 for the ‘July 2012 SDR.’ A new five-year trend line will
be established in the ‘July 2012 SDR,’ based on validated data as reported to the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the time period ending December 31, 2011.”
This document is the “July 2012 SDR.” It reiterates the methodology and presents
need determinations for the certificate of need review beginning October 1, 2012.
Summary of Dialysis Station Supply and Utilization
For purposes of the Semiannual Dialysis Report, as of June 25, 2012 there were 180
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) dialysis facilities certified and operating in North Carolina
(i.e., facilities reporting patient data via the Southeastern Kidney Council), providing a total
of 4,210 dialysis stations. Certificates of need had been issued for an additional 187 dialysis
stations, but the stations were not yet certified. Another 64 dialysis stations had been
requested, but had not completed the certificate of need review and appeals process. The
number of facilities per county ranged from zero to 14.
Utilization data as of December 31, 2011 are presented in the final two columns of
Table A. Of the 180 certified facilities operational on that date, 69 were at or above 80
percent utilization (i.e., operating with at least 3.2 patients per station).
Sources of Data
Inventory Data:
Data on the current number of dialysis facilities and stations were obtained from the
Certificate of Need Section and from the Acute and Home Care Licensure and
Certification Section, Division of Health Service Regulation, North Carolina
Department of Health and Human Services.
Dialysis Patient Data:
Data on the dialysis population by county and by facility as of December 31, 2011 were
provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the
Southeastern Kidney Council, Inc. (SEKC) and the Mid-Atlantic Renal Coalition, Inc.
(MARC).
County data are designed to include all North Carolina residents of each county who are
receiving dialysis, regardless of where they are currently being served. The numbers of
North Carolina patients being served in North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina as
of December 31, 2011 were provided by the SEKC on May 22, 2012. The SEKC noted
that data in its report were based upon information provided to the SEKC by dialysis
facilities in Network 6 and were represented to the SEKC as current as of May 18, 2012.
The SEKC stated that these data are subject to change (SEKC Disclaimer found at the
end of this document). County totals from the SEKC were supplemented by data from
MARC indicating the number of patients residing in North Carolina counties and
receiving dialysis in Virginia. Data for December 31st of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
2011 have been provided by the same sources for the five-year trend analysis.
Facility data include all patients being served by each provider as of December 31, 2011
regardless of the county or state of each patient’s residence. These figures were also
provided by the SEKC on May 22, 2012. Again, the SEKC noted that these figures
reflect data provided to it by dialysis facilities in Network 6 and were represented to the
SEKC as current as of May 18, 2012. The SEKC also stated that these figures are
subject to change.
Method for Projection of New Dialysis Station Need
The North Carolina 2012 State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP) directs the Medical
Facilities Planning Branch to “…determine need for new dialysis stations two times each
calendar year, and…make a report of such determinations available to all who request it.”
The basic principles, methodology and timeline to be used were specified in the 2012 SMFP
and are presented below:
Basic Principles
The principles underlying projection of need for additional dialysis stations are as
follows:
1. Increases in the number of facilities or stations should be done to meet the specific
need for either a new facility or an expansion.
2. New facilities must have a projected need for at least 10 stations (or 32 patients at
3.2 patients per station) to be cost effective and to assure quality of care.
3. The Medical Facilities Planning Branch will maintain a list of existing facilities and
stations, utilization rates and projected need by county that is updated
semiannually. Updated projections will be available two times a year on a
published schedule. Existing or potential providers interested in expanding in any
area of the state may contact the Medical Facilities Planning Branch for projected
need in the area of interest. (Note: A dialysis station’s service area is the dialysis
station planning area in which the dialysis station is located. Except for the
Cherokee-Clay-Graham Multi-County Planning Area and the Avery-Mitchell-
Yancey Multi-County Planning Area, each of the 94 remaining counties is a
separate dialysis station planning area.)
4. Updates of the projections may target counties that have developed sufficient need
to warrant consideration for facility expansion or for establishment of a new
facility. Actual numbers are not published in the North Carolina State Medical
Facilities Plan so they can be updated as appropriate by the Medical Facilities
Planning Branch.
5. Home patients will not be included in the determination of need for new stations.
Home patients include those that receive hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis in their
home.
6. No existing facility may expand unless its utilization is 80 percent or greater. Any
facility at 80 percent utilization or greater may apply to expand.
7. Facilities reporting no patients through the Southeastern Kidney Council for four
consecutive Semiannual Dialysis Reports will be excluded from future inventories.
8. Quality of Care: All facilities should comply with Medicare and Medicaid
regulations relating to the delivery and certification of ESRD services and with
relevant North Carolina statutory provisions. An applicant already involved in the
provision of end-stage renal disease services should provide evidence that care of
high quality has been provided in the past. The following are considered indicators
of quality of care and existing providers proposing to expand their operations
should include in their applications data which include, but are not limited to, the
following:
a. utilization rates
b. morbidity and mortality rates
c. numbers of patients that are home trained and patients on home dialysis
d. number of patients receiving transplants
e. number of patients currently on the transplant waiting list
f. hospital admission rates
g. conversion rates for patients who have acquired hepatitis or AIDS
9. Availability of Manpower and Ancillary/Support Services: The applicant should
show evidence of the availability of qualified staff and other health manpower and
management for the provision of quality ESRD services as well as the availability
of a safe and adequate water supply, provision for treatment of wastewater
discharge and a standing electrical service with backup capabilities.
10. Patient Access to In-Center ESRD Services: As a means of making ESRD services
more accessible to patients, one of the goals of the N. C. Department of Health and
Human Services is to minimize patient travel time to and from the center.
Therefore,
a. End-stage renal disease treatment should be provided in North Carolina such
that patients who require renal dialysis are able to be served in a facility no
farther than 30 miles from the patients’ homes.
b. In areas where it is apparent that patients are currently traveling more than 30
miles for in-center dialysis, favorable consideration should be given to
proposed new facilities which would serve patients who are farthest away from
existing, operational or approved facilities.
11. Transplantation Services: Transplantation services should be available to, and a
priority for, all ESRD patients whose conditions make them suitable candidates for
this treatment. New enrollees should meet with and have access to a
transplantation representative to provide patient education and evaluation for
transplantation.
12. Availability of Dialysis Care: The North Carolina State Health Coordinating
Council encourages applicants for dialysis stations to provide or arrange for:
a. Home training and backup for patients suitable for home dialysis in the ESRD
dialysis facility or in a facility that is a reasonable distance from the patient’s
residence;
b. ESRD dialysis service availability at times that do not interfere with ESRD
patients’ work schedules;
c. Services in rural, remote areas.
Methodology
Need for new dialysis stations shall be determined as follows:
(1) County Need (for the July 2012 SDR – Using a new trend line ending with 12/31/11 data)
(A) The average annual rate (percent) of change in total number of dialysis patients
resident in each county from the end of 2007 to the end of 2011 is multiplied by the
county’s December 31, 2011 total number of patients in the SDR, and the product is
added to each county's most recent total number of patients reported in the SDR.
The sum is the county's projected total December 31, 2012 patients.
(B) The percent of each county's total patients who were home dialysis patients on
December 31, 2011 is multiplied by the county's projected total December 31, 2012
patients, and the product is subtracted from the county's projected total December
31, 2012 patients. The remainder is the county's projected December 31, 2012 in-center
dialysis patients.
(C) The projected number of each county's December 31, 2012 in-center patients is
divided by 3.2. The quotient is the projection of the county's December 31, 2012
in-center dialysis stations.
(D) From each county's projected number of December 31, 2012 in-center stations is
subtracted the county's number of stations certified for Medicare, CON-approved
and awaiting certification, awaiting resolution of CON appeals, and the number
represented by need determinations in previous State Medical Facilities Plans or
Semiannual Dialysis Reports for which CON decisions have not been made. The
remainder is the county's December 31, 2012 projected station surplus or deficit.
(E) If a county's December 31, 2012 projected station deficit is 10 or greater and the
July SDR shows that utilization of each dialysis facility in the county is 80 percent
or greater, the December 31, 2012 county station need determination is the same as
the December 31, 2012 projected station deficit. If a county's December 31, 2012
projected station deficit is less than 10 or if the utilization of any dialysis facility in
the county is less than 80 percent, the county’s December 31, 2012 station need
determination is zero.
(2) Facility Need
A dialysis facility located in a county for which the result of the County Need
methodology is zero in the current Semiannual Dialysis Report (SDR) is determined to
need additional stations to the extent that:
(A) Its utilization, reported in the current SDR, is 3.2 patients per station or greater.
(B) Such need, calculated as follows, is reported in an application for a certificate of
need:
(i) The facility's number of in-center dialysis patients reported in the previous
Dialysis Report (SDR1) is subtracted from the number of in-center dialysis
patients reported in the current SDR (SDR2). The difference is multiplied by 2
to project the net in-center change for 1 year. Divide the projected net in-center
change for the year by the number of in-center patients from SDR1 to determine
the projected annual growth rate.
(ii) The quotient from (2)(B)(i) is divided by 12.
(iii) The quotient from (2)(B)(ii) is multiplied by 12 (the number of months from
December 31, 2010 until December 31, 2011) for the July 2012 SDR.
(iv) The product from (2)(B)(iii) is multiplied by the number of the facility's in-center
patients reported in the current SDR and that product is added to such
reported number of in-center patients.
(v) The sum from (2)(B)(iv) is divided by 3.2, and from the quotient is subtracted
the facility's current number of certified stations as recorded in the current
SDR and the number of pending new stations for which a certificate of need
has been issued. The remainder is the number of stations needed.
(C) The facility may apply to expand to meet the need established in (2)(B)(v), up to a
maximum of 10 stations.
[NOTE: "Rounding" to the nearest whole number is allowed only in Step 1(C) and Step
2(B)(v). In these instances, fractions of 0.5000 or greater shall be rounded to the next highest
whole number.]
Unless specific “adjusted need determinations” are recommended by the North
Carolina State Health Coordinating Council, an application for a certificate of need for
additional dialysis stations can be considered consistent with the need determinations of the
North Carolina 2012 State Medical Facilities Plan only if it demonstrates a need by utilizing
one of the methods of determining need outlined in Chapter 14.
