I got tired of watching home dialysis programs lose $50,000 a year to supply order chaos — while nurses spent their days chasing labs instead of caring for patients. So I built the solution myself.
I spent 10 years as an FMC Preceptor training patients on NxStage and Liberty. The number one thing killing home programs isn't clinical failure — it's administrative chaos. Curatek AI plugs the $50,000 supply order leak, automates the lab chase, and builds your state audit trail on autopilot. No IT. No EMR. Live in 24 hours.
— Joseph Massaquoi · Founder, Curatek AI · PCT III Preceptor, FMC Home TherapyNearly 10 years training patients and clinical staff in home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
Certified trainer — understands HHD adequacy, supply timelines, and water sample requirements firsthand
PD patient training including adequacy monitoring, supply management, and clinic visit coordination
Deep familiarity with PAK, SAK, and tap water schedules — and what happens when logs are missing during a state survey
Curatek AI was built by someone who has sat in your chair and lived your daily problems. This is clinical kinship — not tech sales.
Independent home dialysis programs lose tens of thousands of dollars every year to four preventable administrative failures. Each one has a fix.
Patients forget to order on time. Emergency off-schedule orders get triggered. At $500–600 per incident happening 2–3 times per week — this is a bleeding neck wound for any independent program.
$48,000–$86,400/year avoidableHHD patients collect at home during week one. PD patients come in one week before their visit. Staff manually chase both groups every month — consuming hours that should be spent on clinical care.
High staff time costManual reminder calls to every home patient before every monthly clinic visit. Repetitive. Time-consuming. Pulling nurses away from clinical work to do administrative busywork.
Nurse burnout riskHHD monthly KT/V adequacy (2.0+ standard). PAK, SAK, and tap water samples on quarterly, semi-annual, and annual schedules. State regulated — manual logs are incomplete and a liability during surveys.
State regulatory riskThis is your highest-ROI problem. And it's the easiest one to fix with automation.
If Curatek stops just TWO emergency orders a month — the system is free.
Every order stopped after that is pure cost avoidance.
Every workflow was designed by someone who has done this work manually. Each one eliminates a specific administrative burden your staff deals with every day.
Reminder fires automatically — giving patients enough time to order without rushing.
Patient reminded to place supply order. Replies DONE when ordered. Zero staff involvement.
Second reminder sent automatically. Still no staff needed.
Final SMS sent. Staff alerted simultaneously — last chance before emergency order triggers.
Patient orders on time. $500–600 cost eliminated. Staff time saved.
Two separate workflows — clinically accurate timing for each modality.
HHD patients reminded to collect and submit labs during week one — protecting redraw time before the monthly clinic visit if adequacy is not met.
Patient reminded to collect and mail or bring to clinic for shipment. Replies DONE when submitted.
PD patients reminded about clinic lab draw scheduled one week before their monthly visit.
PD adequacy testing required every 3 months — automated reminder fires when due.
Staff notified if no DONE reply — possible redraw support needed.
Reminder fires automatically for both HHD and PD patients before their monthly clinic visit.
Patient reminded and asked to confirm. Replies YES to confirm or calls to reschedule.
Second reminder sent automatically. No staff needed.
Final SMS the day before the visit.
Staff notified for personal follow-up if patient never confirms. Nothing falls through the cracks.
⚠️ State Regulated — Non-compliance carries regulatory consequences
Monthly KT/V, quarterly PAK/SAK, semi-annual and annual tap water — each fires on its own state-regulated schedule.
Patient reminded to collect and submit the specific sample type due. Clinic name only — zero PHI.
Collection confirmed. Timestamp automatically logged — building your audit trail in real time.
Second reminder fired. Staff notified if still no response.
Every reminder and confirmation timestamped — inspection-ready compliance documentation built on autopilot.
When the surveyor walks in and asks for your quarterly water sample logs — you don't hunt through paper files. You export the Curatek log.
State surveyor requests quarterly PAK/SAK collection records
Staff searches through paper logs and spreadsheets
Records are incomplete, missing dates, or illegible
Surveyor cites the program for documentation deficiency
Corrective action plan required — stress, time, liability
State surveyor requests quarterly PAK/SAK collection records
Staff opens Curatek dashboard — exports timestamped log instantly
Every reminder sent and patient confirmation shown with exact date/time
Documentation is complete, clean, and defensible
Survey completed without citation — program protected
Every reminder sent and every patient DONE reply is automatically logged with exact date and time. No manual charting required.
Complete record of KT/V submissions, PAK/SAK collections, tap water samples, and PD adequacy testing — exportable on demand.
Every case where a patient didn't respond is also logged — showing your program's follow-up efforts. This protects you even when compliance isn't perfect.
PAK quarterly. SAK semi-annually. Tap water annually. All built in so nothing is missed or mis-scheduled.
The audit trail builds itself in the background while your staff focuses on patient care — not documentation.
Home therapy nurses are highly specialized and expensive to replace. Chasing patients for labs and supply orders is low-value work that leads to burnout. Curatek AI eliminates the nagging so your nurses can actually be nurses.
Monday: Call 15 HHD patients to remind about lab collection this week
Tuesday: Follow up with patients who didn't respond to lab reminders
Wednesday: Emergency supply order — $600 cost — could have been prevented
Thursday: Call all 25 PD patients about upcoming monthly clinic visit
Friday: Manually update spreadsheet with water sample collection status
Monday: Curatek sends all lab reminders — nurse focuses on clinical care
Tuesday: Follow-up reminders sent automatically — nurse only notified if help needed
Wednesday: Supply reminder was sent 7 days ago — patient ordered on time. $600 saved.
Thursday: Clinic visit reminders sent automatically — nurse reviews only non-responders
Friday: Water sample audit trail updated automatically — zero manual logging
Home therapy nurses are among the most specialized clinical staff in dialysis. Every hour spent on administrative busywork is an hour not spent on patient care — and a step closer to burnout. Curatek AI gives them their clinical role back.
