The collection of papers published in this issue of Seminars in Dialysis describes our approach to Pharmatech, which is the integration of services, medical devices, and pharmacologic agents, into specific prescription processes. Pharmatech is developed to systematically facilitate an individual's prescription according to each patient's specific needs. This includes evidence‐based algorithms for control, anemia management and isonatremic dialysis, devices to deliver precise doses of injectable drugs, and future developments to simplify loading new applications into the system.
