• increase the availability of comparative material to facilitate better treatment decisions
• provide statistics on long-term trends that can be used for planning and optimizing programs
• provide a feedback mechanism to facilities, a quality assurance function for treatment, and a national standard for comparison
• provide statistics to the health care industry, to enhance business decisions such as planning and resource allocation for renal treatment and transplant services
