NRAA plans special programs for small dialysis providers on ESCOs
The National Renal Administrators Association is gearing up for education programs in the next two weeks that will help independent dialysis providers better understand how they can be a part of the integrated care movement.
The Integrated Care Model, ESCOs and Envisioning the Future
A strategic webinar for the independent provider
Integrated care has a significant role in the future of the dialysis industry and involves taking responsibility for coordination of all care received by patients with kidney disease, beginning well before the commencement of dialysis. It also includes a strong patient education component. In this webinar, the NRAA and the Renal Services Exchange will help educate NRAA members on how to participate in a broader approach to integrated care and provide support to members who are considering forming or participating in ESRD Seamless Care Organizations.
Date: Feb. 4 (requires NRAA membership), 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm ET
