Writing and Implementing Effective Dialysis Policies

Includes a Live Web Event on 10/30/2025 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

One of the biggest things we can do to make our DOH surveys easier is to develop policies that are evidenced based, clear, and support our staff processes. This presentation discusses the basics of policy development and implementation.  Topics covered include: The importance of having policies as an organization, how to identify an issue that requires a policy, how to form an inter-disciplinary policy committee, where to find the necessary resources to write an effective policy, how to develop and write a new policy, and most importantly how to effectively implement a policy within the organization.  Attendees will begin writing a policy during this presentation so come with ideas!
