The information has been put together with the help of concerned dialysis staff members, infection experts, and a hemodialysis patient. The aim of these tools is to educate and empower patients ato speak up if they see something that may cause an infection. We are sharing it with the permission of ESRD Network 15.
This poster/handout outlines five ways that dialysis patients can advocate for their care when hospitalized.
Created by the Joint Commission, this poster offers simple ways that patients can protect themselves and others from infections.
Trifold brochure to help educate patients about the grievance process.
The Forum of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Networks Kidney Patient Advisory Council (KPAC) made The Patient Grievance Process Toolkit to help patients as they work through the Grievance System. We feel that a toolkit designed BY patients and FOR patients will help explain the grievance system to meet patient needs. The Toolkit could be a useful tool for both patients AND facilities. While most facilities and all Networks have a Grievance Process, this is the first time that process has been explained through the patient’s eyes.
View a new brochure for patients from Midwest Kidney Network. The brochure describes the role of the Network, how patients may file a grievance, and patient rights and responsibilities.
