Dialysis Bloodstream Infection (BSI) Prevention Collaborative

The CDC Dialysis BSI Prevention Collaborative is a partnership aimed at preventing bloodstream infections (BSIs) in hemodialysis patients.
The prevention collaborative is open to freestanding and hospital-based outpatient dialysis facilities across the country. Participating facilities measure BSIs using the dialysis event surveillance module in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), and are using a package of evidence-based practices to prevent these devastating infections.
