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 educates patients about the grievance process and the role of Midwest Kidney Network. For a large version of this poster (18"x24") please contact us.
This dynamic toolkit was developed by The National Forum of ESRD Networks very own Kidney Patient Advisory Council.
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.

Patients served by ESRD Network 11 were surveyed on participation in regular physical activity (physical activity). National recommendations (3 days/week, 30 minutes/session, and intensity of "moderate level") were used to categorize respondents into three physical activity categories: no physical activity, some physical activity, and recommended levels of physical activity.
The Patient and Family Engagement module of the ESRD Toolkit defines patient engagement in the context of end-stage renal disease facilities, discusses how to recognize and overcome obstacles to patient engagement, explains how to engage patients and their families in infection reduction, and helps your facility determine next steps to better engage patients and their families.
