About ESRD Network 14

Vision

To lead in supporting optimal health outcomes and positive experiences of care for all ESRD patients in this region.

Mission

To promote safe, equitable, and effective health care and to engage patients and their families as full and active members of the ESRD health care team.

 

Goal and Objectives

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded two new five-year task orders to Alliant Health Solutions to serve as a Network of Quality Improvement and Innovation Contractor (NQIIC) for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Networks 8 and 14.

In these ESRD Networks, Alliant will work on national priorities and goals, collaborating with stakeholders on interventions that target patients, dialysis/transplant providers, and other providers. CMS has directed Networks to incorporate a focus on rural health and vulnerable populations in the task order activities.

Alliant will focus on the CMS priorities of improving the healthcare quality of ESRD providers and other providers; improvement of ESRD population health and outcomes; and building advisory committees and community coalitions in support of better care, smarter spending, and healthier people. The three program goals include:

  • Improve care in high cost/complex Chronic Conditions;
  • Reduce hospital admissions, readmissions and outpatient emergency visits;
  • Provide targeted Quality Improvement (QI) response(s)
