Are you on track to meet your facility's QIA goal?
In May, your facility received updated National Data on your progress to meeting the QIA goals for patients either beginning training for Home Therapies or being listed on the UNOS Transplant Waitlist?
If you are NOT trending to goal, it is time to review your facility's Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and make rapid cycle improvements to improve your QIA rates. Feel free to schedule a call/webex/in person site visit with Network staff to discuss how your facility can work to achieve CMS set goals. If you would like team coaching from Network staff, you can request via e-mail to

Did you know that we send monthly QIA Reporting and Goal Updates?
