Overview
Network 14's HAI LAN's Premier Platform for Eliminating and Preventing HAI's.
As the Premier HAI Prevention Resource, the objective for Network 14's HAI LAN is to change Texas' dialysis culture of care by eliminating and/or reducing the risk of patients becoming ill with access related infections. Texas dialysis patients, healthcare teams, and organizations are invited to utilize, share, and spread the platforms rich resources (articles and links) to make a difference in the lives of dialysis patients. Patients, let your voices be heard, inform the dialysis staff if there have been any health related changes since your last dialysis treatment (medications, vaccines, and doctor or hospital visits) and SPEAK UP when you have questions.
