title: Diabetic foot-related problems: improving outcomes in the dialysis population using a foot assessment screening tri-algorithm (FAST).
abstract: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to determine the effect of diabetic foot checks on patient awareness, satisfaction, and outcomes. An algorithm was developed based on evidence-based practice, best practice guidelines, and current literature that can be used by nurses and medical staff in the management of foot-related problems in patients with diabetes on dialysis. An educational resource guide was also developed for use when education is required for foot-related problems.
