Infection Prevention (QIA)

 Infections are a leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality among dialysis patients, making infection prevention critical. Most of these infections are preventable through consistent adherence to evidence-based practices, including proper hand hygiene, catheter care, and disinfection protocols. Vaccination against preventable diseases, such as hepatitis B, pneumonia and influenza, is also a key component of infection prevention in this vulnerable population. By encouraging vaccinations and maintaining strict infection control, dialysis facilities can significantly reduce the risk of complications, improve patient outcomes, and lower the burden on the healthcare system.
