According to relevant regulations, the Chinese National Renal Data System should be visited in a timely manner to ensure that relevant information on the patients is uploaded on time, to guarantee medical safety, to keep the center’s non-profit nature, and to safeguard patients’ rights and interests.

Shijiazhuang Xinhua Changshan Pharmaceutical Hemodialysis Center, established on this basis and standard, passed the on-site inspection of experts on January 6, 2016, and was approved as the designated urban medical insurance unit. On November 30, 2017, the Provincial Medical Insurance Center released the list of the first designated medical institutions for provincial medical insurance in 2017, in which Changshan Hemodialysis Center was included. Now it has become the designated medical institution for provincial medical insurance. Shijiazhuang Changshan Pharmaceutical Hemodialysis Center is located at No. 29, Heping West Road, Xinhua District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. The blood purification center covers an area of nearly 2,000 square meters, and contains spacious and bright rooms, a warm and comfortable environment, complete facilities, a reasonable layout, and a standardized process. To provide patients with a comfortable and elegant environment for hemodialysis treatment, the blood purification center is also equipped with air conditioning and a television with a surround-sound system.  There are 15 professional technicians in this center, including 1 chief physician, 1 deputy chief physician, 4 attending physicians, 8 nurses, and 1 inspector. Each staff member participated in a three-month professional hemodialysis training course from first-class hospitals at Grade 3 before they began working. They all gained the corresponding certificate. Our physicians are very experienced in hemodialysis, so they can formulate and adjust blood purification treatment regimens (such as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemofiltration, and hemoperfusion etc.) according to the patient's condition. They are skilled at the treatment of acute and chronic complications, and are able to provide nutrition guidance and health education for patients. The nursing personnel in our center are proficient in the operation of the hemodialysis devices and the handling of the vascular puncture technique. They are also able to make the emergent treatment for blood purification complications.
