First Claim
1. A dialysis system comprising:
- a first home dialysis machine located at a first patient'"'"'s home;
a second home dialysis machine located at a second patient'"'"'s home;
a first modem in data communication with the first home dialysis machine;
a second modem in data communication with the second home dialysis machine;
a clinician server associated with a dialysis center, the dialysis center located remotely from the first and second home dialysis machines;
a first clinician computer in data communication with the clinician server;
a second clinician computer in data communication with the clinician server, the first and second clinician computers each configured to participate in the optimization and selection of at least one machine operating prescription;
a dialysis center modem in data communication with the clinician server; and
a network in data communication with the first modem, the second modem and the dialysis center modem, such that the machine operating prescription for a patient by either clinician computer can be delivered over the network to and operated on the first or second home dialysis machine, whichever is associated with the patient.
