Objectives
The purpose of the Explore Transplant’s Dialysis Provider Training is to increase dialysis providers’ knowledge, skills and comfort educating their own patients about transplant.
Many dialysis providers do not believe that their training prepared them to educate patients about transplant. Some dialysis centers do not have active formal transplant education programs. This training, and the patient educational materials provided, can assist dialysis centers in meeting the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ESRD Conditions for Coverage pertaining to transplant education.
Explore Transplant Dialysis Provider Training Objectives:
- Enhance dialysis providers’ transplant knowledge & experience delivering transplant education to patients.
- Assist providers in designing individualized transplant education plans that support the CMS ESRD Conditions for Coverage regarding transplant.
