What interventions/practice changes has your facility adopted to improve the rate of patients on the UNOS waitlist and/or utilizing Home Therapies?
Sustainability In the QIA
As of July here is where we stand:
22% of facilities in the Home Therapies QIA have met their goal, and 25% of facilities in the Transplant QIA have met their goal. We will share what are these facilities doing that brought them to achieve their goal.
If your facility has not yet met goal, what can YOUR facility do to meet goal?
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
