Atlantic Dialysis Management Services

The company was established to provide new dialysis site development, day-to-day administration, and management of dialysis services and related business development activities. Central to the ADMS approach is long-term control of clinical services by nephrologists, with a business strategy focused on maximizing individual site results through consolidated activities. ADMS operates a network of chronic renal dialysis centers and offers home hemodialysis (utilizing the NxStage Dialysis System), home continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), and home continuous cycler peritoneal dialysis (CCPD). The organization also maintains CAPD agreements with nursing homes in the Metropolitan New York area. Nurses working at ADMS function within a nephrology specialty environment, providing dialysis treatments under the supervision of clinical care coordinators and charge nurses. The RN role involves utilizing the Standards of Clinical Practice for Nephrology Nursing and the nursing process (Assessment, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation) to coordinate patient care. Nurses are also responsible for assisting with maintenance of dialysis machinery. The work environment is described as busy and fast-paced, with a clear clinical purpose in the kidney care community. Employee reviews reflect a mixed experience, with some appreciation for the sense of purpose and learning opportunities, but notable concerns around compensation, management effectiveness, and workplace hierarchy.

ADMS states an 'unwavering commitment to excellence within the kidney community.' The organization's core approach emphasizes nephrologist-led clinical control, consolidated administrative activities to maximize site performance, and comprehensive dialysis service offerings including in-center, home hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis programs.
