• Description:
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in partnership with the Delmarva Foundation, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Mid-Atlantic Renal Coalition, established a prevention collaborative of motivated outpatient dialysis facilities in 2009. The goal of the CDC’s Dialysis BSI Prevention Collaborative is to work together to prevent bloodstream infections (BSIs) in hemodialysis and spur
  
  a broader interest in preventing infections among the dialysis community.
  
  The Prevention Collaborative is open to freestanding and hospital- based outpatient dialysis facilities across the country. Participating facilities measure BSIs using the dialysis event surveillance module in CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), and are creating and implementing a package of evidence-based practices to prevent these infections.
