The use of quality of life (QOL) measurement in the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) setting can be useful to measure the impact of interventions on outcomes. Using QOL results can also increase patient participation in care planning and, thus, increase patient satisfaction with care. Clinical indicators can be developed to trigger further assessment of various patient needs.
