Assisting dialysis facilities to improve both staff and patient awareness of specific patient safety areas, promoting patient safety values, and building a culture of patient safety in every dialysis facility.
Welcome to Our 2026 Program Year!
For the past 18 years, the 5-Diamond Patient Safety Program has been a growing and valuable resource in the dialysis healthcare community. It evolves each year to stay current and focus on patient safety issues impacting both patients and the dedicated staff who care for them.
The 2026 Program Year offers a robust experience for participants, with learning plans containing modules developed around safety-related topics, presented on a user-friendly, interactive platform. Each module offers downloadable instructions, all the necessary tools, and one reporting form to complete for Diamond status certification.
Work at your own pace, as your schedule permits and earn Diamond status.
For instructions, tips and tricks to using the new platform check out the 5 Diamond User Guide.
YOUR USER NAME FOR LOG-IN IS YOUR FACILITY 6-DIGIT MEDICARE CERTIFICATION/PROVIDER NUMBER (CCN).

Who Can Participate?
Any dialysis facility, regardless of Network area, may participate in the program. For each module successfully completed during a program year, the facility earns one Diamond.
Upon successfully completing five modules and completing a Program Review questionnaire by all staff, the facility will earn “5-Diamond Patient Safety Facility” recognition.
This education is appropriate for all dialysis staff, including nurses, technicians, dietitians, AND social workers.
