Report Highlights
HealthInsight, a private not-for-profit, is dedicated to serving as a primary agent in focusing
community energy to achieve the quality and effectiveness of healthcare. Providing services in
healthcare improvement since 1984, HealthInsight realized the opportunities possible in
expanding their reach into end stage renal disease (ESRD) as they acquired the contracts for
ESRD Network 18 and 16 in 2015.
In 2016, the HealthInsight ESRD Alliance comprised of Network 18 and Network 16, began a
unique collaboration in sharing an Executive Director and Quality Improvement Director in an
effort to realize efficiencies while being responsive to local needs. This resulted in unique
synergies that included sharing and implementing best practices throughout both Networks.
Network 18 engaged the leadership of the only ESRD Seamless Care Organization (ESCO) in
California to align efforts of the Network with emerging priorities of the Center of Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) in alternative payment initiatives. This engagement included a
presentation of ESCOs and their impact in the dialysis population at the regional HealthInsight
corporate board retreat attended by more than 100 leaders in the healthcare community that
HealthInsight represents.
Population Health Innovation Project – Hospitalization Reduction
Network 18 identified hospitalization reduction as the innovation project to work on. This effort
resulted in new community collaborations with area hospital systems and regional quality
organizations to encourage Electronic Medical Records (eMR) exchanges between the hospital
and the dialysis facility upon the hospitalization discharge of a dialysis patient. The Network
worked with San Diego Health Connect to identify information in the Health Information
Exchange that will be necessary to improve dialysis patients’ quality of care. Additionally, the
Network worked closely with participating facilities to identify the top three discharge
diagnoses: gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and fluid control; and applied appropriate targeted
interventions.
Patient and Family Engagement/Patient Services
Network 18’s 2016 Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems In-Center
Hemodialysis Survey (ICH CAHPS) project focused on the question: ‘In the past 12 months, did
either your kidney doctors or dialysis center staff talk to you about peritoneal dialysis?’
70% indicated they made changes in their facility’s activities to increase the education
and awareness of peritoneal dialysis as a viable treatment modality.
90% indicated plans to continue to use one or more of the change package materials
developed by the patient advisory committee.
Patient Safety: Reducing Rates of Healthcare-Acquired Infections
The target facilities reduced their positive blood cultures by 19% in 2016.
Due to BSI prevention interventions, 90 hospitalizations were averted.

Introduction
CMS’ End Stage Renal Disease Network Organization Program The End Stage Renal Disease Network Organization Program (ESRD Network Program) is a
national quality improvement program funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS). CMS is a federal agency, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
CMS defines end stage renal disease (ESRD) as permanent kidney failure in an individual who
requires dialysis or kidney transplantation to sustain life.
Under contract with CMS, 18 ESRD Network Organizations, or ESRD Networks, carry out a
range of activities to improve the quality of care for individuals with ESRD. The 18 ESRD
Networks serve the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Medicare Coverage for Individuals with ESRD Medicare coverage was extended to most ESRD patients in the U.S. under the Social Security
Act Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-603). Individuals with irreversible kidney failure are
eligible for Medicare if they need regular dialysis or have had a kidney transplant and they meet
(or their spouse or parent meets) certain work history requirements under the Social Security
program, the railroad retirement system, or federal employment.
History of CMS’ ESRD Network Organization Program Following passage of the 1972 Amendments to the Social Security Act, in response to the need
for effective coordination of ESRD care, hospitals and other health care facilities were organized
into networks to enhance the delivery of services to people with ESRD.
In 1978, Public Law 95-292 modified the Social Security Act to allow for the coordination of
dialysis and transplant services by linking dialysis facilities, transplant centers, hospitals,
patients, physicians, nurses, social workers, and dietitians into Network Coordinating Councils,
one for each of 32 administrative areas.
In 1988, CMS consolidated the 32 jurisdictions into 18 geographic areas and awarded contracts
to 18 ESRD Network Organizations, now commonly known as ESRD Networks. The ESRD
Networks, under the terms of their contracts with CMS, are responsible for: supporting use of the
most appropriate treatment modalities to maximize quality of care and quality of life;
encouraging treatment providers to support patients’ vocational rehabilitation and employment;
collecting, validating, and analyzing patient registry data; identifying providers that do not
contribute to the achievement of Network goals; and conducting onsite reviews of ESRD
providers as necessary.

ESRD Network 18 In 2016, Network 18 served the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) community in the 13 central
and southern counties of California including: Inyo, Imperial, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tulare and Ventura. The
number of new (incident) patients receiving dialysis increased by 86, while the number of
prevalent patients grew by 1,738. With the increase in dialysis patients, there was also an
addition of 14 new Medicare certified dialysis facilities. The total number of dialysis facilities in
Network 18 totaled 401 at the end of 2016. As noted below, 47% of the dialysis population
identifies their ethnicity as Hispanic. This has increased efforts of the Network to ensure that
appropriate resources are provided for this population. There is an average of 117.3 dialysis
patients per CMS-certified facility, more than any other Network, signifying an urgent need to
accelerate initial certifications for new facilities.

Network Goals
CMS establishes priorities for the ESRD Network contractors annually in the Statement of Work
section of each Network’s contract with the agency. These priorities support CMS and
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) national quality improvement goals and
priorities.
In 2016, the ESRD Network contractors were tasked with meeting the following goals:
Improving care for ESRD patients in the Network’s service area by:
o Promoting patient- and family-centered care,
o Responding to grievances about ESRD-related services filed by, or on behalf of,
ESRD patients,
o Supporting improvement in patients’ experience of care,
o Working with dialysis facilities to ensure that all dialysis patients have access to
appropriate care,
o Promoting best practices in vascular access management; and,
o Helping dialysis facilities reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated
infections.
Improving the health of the ESRD patient population in the Network’s service area
through activities designed to reduce disparities in ESRD care; and,
Reducing the costs of ESRD care in the Network’s service area by supporting
performance improvement at the dialysis facility level and supporting facilities’
submission of data to CMS-designated data collection systems.

Profile of Patients in the Network’s Service Area
Network 18 collects data on incident (new) ESRD patients, prevalent (currently treated) dialysis
patients, and renal transplant recipients.
The Network uses data on patients’ clinical characteristics—including primary cause of ESRD,
treatment modality, and vascular access type—to focus its outreach and quality improvement
activities.

Improving Care for ESRD Patients
Network 18 works closely with ESRD patients, patients’ family members and friends,
nephrologists, dialysis facilities, healthcare organizations, ESRD advocacy organizations, and
other ESRD stakeholders to improve the care for ESRD patients in Southern California.
Under its contract with CMS, the Network is responsible for:
Identifying opportunities for quality improvement and developing interventions to
improve care for ESRD patients in Southern California,
Identifying opportunities for improvement at the facility level and providing technical
assistance to facilities as needed,
Promoting the use of best practices in clinical care for ESRD patients,
Encouraging use of all modalities of care, including home modalities and transplantation,
as appropriate, to promote patient independence and improve clinical outcomes,
Promoting the coordination of care across treatment settings; and
Ensuring accurate and timely data collection, analysis, and reporting by facilities in
accordance with national standards.
Patient Safety
Patient Safety: Improve Vaccination Rates
Network 18 was able to greatly improve vaccination rates for pneumococcal pneumonia for
target facilities. At the end of the project 918 patients received a Pneumococcal polysaccharides
vaccine (PPV) shot.
Patient Safety: Reducing Rates of Healthcare-Acquired Infections Network 18 compared facility ranks on eight measures of mortality and morbidity taken from the
2015 Dialysis Facility Reports (DFR) and National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), in order
to select candidate facilities for quality improvement of infection control. The measures were:
Percentage of deaths due to infection, 2011-2014 (DFR)
Percentage of Medicare patients hospitalized for septicemia, 2011-2014 (DFR)
Access-related infection rate for hemodialysis patients, 2014 (DFR)
Access-related infection rate for peritoneal dialysis patients, 2014 (DFR)
Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) greater than overall Network SMR, 2011-2014
(DFR)
Positive blood culture rate, 2015 (NHSN)
Access-related bloodstream infection rate, 2015 (NHSN)
Local Access Site Infection Rate, 2015 (NHSN)
The 20 lowest-scoring facilities for each measure were selected and ranked. The ranks were then
equally weighted to create a combined score that was used to compare and select facilities that
demonstrated relatively greater opportunities for improvement across multiple measures.
Weighting measures equally ignores correlations between measures; however, contrary to
expectations, the measures were not highly correlated empirically on the facility level.

The lowest-performing 20% of the facilities were required to be on the healthcare-acquired
infection Learning and Action Network (HAI LAN) and CDC audit project. Besides the required
CDC audits, facilities were required to attend monthly webinars and present on at least one
webinar. Facilities also were required to: complete facility-specific goal statements derived from
their CDC audit tool results, use a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle and discuss improvements
and challenges on the webinar. The targeted facilities reduced their positive blood cultures by
19% in 2016 preventing 176 blood stream infections. Reducing Blood Stream Infections (BSI)
contributed to preventing 90 hospitalizations.

Innovation Project For 2016, Network 18 selected Project A2: Network Workgroup-Focus on Reducing Hospital
Utilization. The goals of the project were to reduce hospital utilization by 2% overall, and to
improve access to eMR for dialysis providers at their primary admitting hospitals.
The Network selected 20 dialysis units along with their primary hospitals to participate in the
project. The facilities had a census of 2,409 patients. The Network excluded the tracking of
patients with planned admissions, pediatric patients, and any patient with active cancer
comorbidity.
Interventions included post-hospitalization assessments, infection prevention of the dialysis
access site, and gaining access to the primary admitting hospital’s eMR. Other interventions
were based on facility-specific discharge diagnoses and patient comorbidities.
Discharge diagnoses were not as expected. Analysis of the facility reported baseline data (April
through September 2015) showed the most common discharge diagnoses were cardiovascular
16%, infection (not airborne) 12%, gastrointestinal 6%, and then the fourth position was a four
way tie that included fluid overload. Analysis of the 2016 facility reported data showed the top
discharge diagnoses changed to: gastrointestinal 13%, cardiovascular 12%, and fluid overload at
10%.

Provider Education
Network 18 and Network16 partnered to present a live webinar on Refueling and Reconnecting
as Compassionate Caregivers in Nephrology Care. Free CEs were provided to over 90 attendees.
Evaluation results were excellent, and comments indicated that the webinar content was highly
relevant for their setting. Some comments:
“Very important information for healthcare professionals.”
“This event was the highlight of my day.”
“This session was incredibly helpful and came at a time in my career when I needed it the
most. I will refer back to these slides often as refreshers are needed with the difficult
work load. Thank you for acknowledging the difficult life our patients live and how this
can impact us as clinicians.”
In response to patient grievances, access to care concerns, reported facility concerns and/or by
request, the Network conducted on site training to staff related to conflict management,
improving communication skills and increasing professionalism at two dialysis facilities and at
three regional meetings in 2016. These activities provide an opportunity for staff to learn new
skills, and for the Network to better understand staff member perspective and struggles in their
work with patients. Presentations at regional meetings allow us an opportunity to engage social
workers and facility administrators from dozens of units at one time proving us a better
opportunity to reach more members of the community.
The Network issues a quarterly provider newsletter to all facilities via constant contact. Though
this online web based service we are able to view the open rate as well as the rate at which
people click on the links embedded within the newsletter. In 2016, the last reported open rate
was at 27% with a click rate of 11%. This is a newsletter is sent out to a distribution list of over
1,600 community partners in the Network 18 service area.
Patient and Family Engagement
Network 18 is committed to incorporating the perspective of patients, family members, and other
caregivers into its quality improvement activities. In 2016, the Network collaborated closely with
Patient Advisory Council (PAC) Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Network 18’s PAC is
comprised of 19 culturally diverse patients, representing all ESRD modalities in 5 of the 13
counties located in Network 18. PAC members participated in all 2016 Network Quality
Improvement Activities, in Network Board and Medical Review Board in-person meetings, and
in development of all Network patient education activities and materials. The majority of the
Network’s PAC members are active in the renal community as national presenters and authors,
board members, and patient advocates, including: Renal Support Network, Living Donor
Outreach, NxStage, Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology (SONG) Initiative, local and national
peer mentoring initiatives, National Coordinating Center, and Forum of ESRD Networks.
The Network and its patient SMEs participated in the following educational activities in 2016:
Blogs – short posts sent out by email to promote new educational materials, resources,
alerts, and events of interest to consumers; there were 552 blog prescribers in 2016.
Emergency Readiness fliers specific to Southern California with wildfires and power
outages due to extreme heat.
Page 11 of 61
Patient Newsletter- under the new contract holder of HealthInsight, the PAC provided
extensive feedback in revising the newsletter template to ensure that it is patient centered.
Patient Newsletter Postcard- a new post card was created with the PAC that will be
initially sent to all existing patients in 2017, and then to all new patients thereafter in June
of 2017. This effort began in 2016 with PAC involvement in every step. This project will
allow patients to choose how they wish to receive the Network Patient Newsletter; hard
copy by mail, or by email.
Grievance Poster- the PAC was very involved in the creation, layout and wording used
on the new grievance poster created in 2016 as an English and a Spanish version.
Website – there were 6,689 ‘hits’ on the Patients & Family webpage from February to
December 2016.
Projects to Promote Home Therapies
Network 18’s 2016 ICH CAHPS project focused on Question 39: “In the past 12 months did
either your kidney doctors or dialysis center staff talk to you about peritoneal dialysis?” Twenty
facilities were selected for participation based on scoring on the lower end of all units analyzed.
Of these 20 facilities, only 30.46 percent of patients surveyed responded ‘yes’ to this question
(baseline). At the completion of this project, the project facilities achieved considerable
improvement in the number of patient’s responding “yes,” obtaining 90.4 percent positive (yes)
responses (nearly a 60 percentage point improvement). The Network utilized existing materials
on PD Education from MEI, NCC, and the Forum of ESRD Networks. Additionally, the
Network’s PAC developed Modality Referral Tracking Sheets, Home Unit Referral Appointment
Cards, Best Practices Checklists and Myth & Fact Sheets. The Network conducted an evaluation
with project facilities and found:
70% indicated they made changes in their facility’s activities as a result of the
90% indicated plans to continue to use one or more of the change package materials
One aspect to consider in planning future activities around ICH CAHPS is facility reluctance to
ask patients to fill out monthly one-question surveys (survey burden), as requests for the survey
question to be provided in more languages that English and Spanish. Additionally the request
was made to make educational resources available in multiple languages as well.
Page 12 of 61
In addition to its responsibilities under its contract with CMS, the Network achieved
participation in health care related events that extend beyond the dialysis and kidney transplant
population. Network staff participated in the Ethics of Caring Annual Conference held in Los
Angeles California and the California Coalition for Compassionate Care. Network 18 staff was
able to connect with other care providers in this area of health care and gain insight on other how
other organizations address similar topics of ethics including end of life decisions that often arise
when dealing with a fragile population such as people with kidney disease. The Patient Services
Department has ensured that this is included in all presentations, all site visits, and when
conducting any case consultation on the phone.
Network 18 has been making efforts for several years to ensure that end of life is included in care
planning and that our dialysis staff have access to education and resources that are available.
Through the Coalition for Compassionate Care, the Network has been able to share valuable
webinars and educational materials that are available to our community in regards to advanced
directives, end of life planning, palliative care and hospice. This is an area that we will continue
to bring light to in our work with our population and will continue to grow the relationship with
Coalition and encourage our dialysis units to do the same.
Network 18 continues to engage with the ESCO based in San Diego to follow outcomes related
to this alternative payment model tracking facility participation in contract projects including
dialogue on the Board of Directors to consider innovative directions to accomplish assigned
metrics. This is an on-going discussion.
Network 18 partnered with the California Department of Health on their EBOLA grant with a
focus on improving infection control. To also improve infection control the Network provided
presentations to Association of Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) chapters locally in
Southern California.
The Quality Improvement Director provided education to providers at local American
Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) chapter meetings and at the Annual Dialysis
Conference as well as regional provider trainings. The Executive Director presented at the
National Renal Administrators Association (NRAA) Spring Meeting in Washington D.C.

Facilities that Consistently Failed to Cooperate with Network Goals Network 18 used the following non-compliance policy in dealing with facilities who consistently
failed to cooperate with Network goals. While facilities were identified and started through the
process outlined below, none made it to stage three. These facilities demonstrated improvement
and cooperation with the Network by the end of the year.
Network 18 has a policy regarding non-compliance with Network projects. In addressing non-
compliant facilities the following steps are taken:
Stage One: Network staff shall call the Facility Administrator and discuss the
activity/information request and attempt to overcome any barriers.
Documentation will be maintained including notes on the discussion and the
parties involved in the discussion.
Stage Two: If there is no response, or an inadequate response to the call, Network staff
shall email the facility's Administrator and regional personnel describing the
area(s) of noncooperation, specifying a reasonable time frame for submitting
late material and/or a plan of corrective action and offering the assistance of
appropriate Network staff or committee members in resolving the problem.
Stage Three: If the facility continues in the uncooperative pattern, the Network will send
a letter to the facility and regional/corporate management describing the
goal/information/project required and set a 5 to 15 workday timeframe to
resolve the issues. The letter will let the facility know that being
uncooperative may be reported to CMS and/or state survey agencies and can
lead to the sanction process.
At this time Network staff will notify the Medical Review Board of the
uncooperative facility and attempts to rectify the situation.
Stage Four: If the facility still has not met the requirements of the goal/project or
information request, Network staff will meet with the Executive Director
and Medical Review Board to discuss starting the Sanction Policy for this
facility.
If it is agreed that the Network should progress to the Sanction policy, a
letter will be sent to the Facility Administrator, corporate office and
Chairman of the Network board of directors, notifying them of the decision
that the facility is uncooperative, and may be reported as uncooperative in
Network reporting, i.e., Network Annual Report which may be made public
and that the Network may begin the sanction process. CMS and state
surveyors may be notified of the facilities that are uncooperative.
Page 14 of 61
Recommendations for Sanctions Network 18 did not recommend any facilities for sanctions in 2016. No providers were identified
as consistently failing to cooperate with Network projects or to have serious quality of care
issues. State Surveyors did place facilities on the slow track for decertification, but all of these
cases were resolved with the Network’s assistance or offer of assistance.
Recommendations to CMS for Additional Services or Facilities Network 18 shared available aggregate data with State Survey Offices, CMS Region IX (San
Francisco) and Region X (Seattle) for use in conjunction with other factors in determining
prioritization of certification surveys, but made no specific recommendation for the addition of
dialysis facilities.
Grievances and Access to Care
Network 18 responds to grievances filed by or on behalf of ESRD patients in its service area. In
2016, the Network responded to 192 grievances. Of these, three (1.5%) involved issues related to
access to care.
Table D. Grievance Data for Calendar Year 2016

implications related to the concerns reported by the grievant had the potential to cause
immediate harm to patients.
Involuntary discharge not reported to the Network or the State prior to the patient being
discharged.
Violation of patient rights for the unit’s ongoing failure to provide a non-English
speaking patient with translation services.
Grievant reported that their blood line had been oozing blood undetected for over an hour
due to staff failure to physically check on the patient and the machine in the required
intervals.
Failure to address hypotensive events, prescription for dialysate flow and blood flow not
being followed per doctors’ orders, and post assessments not completed were identified
during the investigation of a grievance regarding limited staff and long wait times.
Unit lacking staff trained to cannulate a VWING access site, leading to the patient not
receiving dialysis.
Five anonymous letters received by the Network regarding inappropriate transplant
denials or delays in process at one specified transplant center.
Anonymous grievant reported staff is arriving up to four hours after the first patient is
scheduled to start leading to extensive delays in treatment start time.
Anonymous grievance reported the presence of gnats, specifically in the drains on the
treatment floor.
Emergency Preparedness and Response Network 18 works proactively throughout the year to ensure that all units in the Network area are
prepared for the possibility of a disaster. These efforts include the following:
Membership on the Los Angeles and Ventura County Health Care Coalition Emergency
Management groups. This includes phone calls as well in person meetings. Membership
on these groups ensure that the Network has the most recent emergency planning
information as it relates to all health care facilities as well as ensures that the voice and
needs of the dialysis population are heard and incorporated into disaster planning efforts.
Participated in DaVita’s Emergency Planning table top exercise which focused on
responding to a severe drought that limited dialysis unit and patient’s access to water.
Publicized and encouraged all units to participate in the Annual California Shake Out.
Participated in the Kidney Community Emergency Response (KCER) national exercise
drill.
Health alerts and medical recalls are shared with the dialysis community as they are
received.
State Survey Agency is notified each time there is an interruption in service at a dialysis
facility that impacts patient care in any way.
Send out Network wide notification of excessive heat, cold, or wind warnings that are
activated in the Network area. Resources for cooling stations were provided during
summer months when extreme heat was present.
Resources sent out on at least a quarterly basis to assist unit in maintaining their internal
emergency plans as well as ensuring that they keep patients and staff members updated
Page 16 of 61
on how to respond to an emergency and what resources are available to them (KCER
resources, local Emergency Medical Services, 3 day renal diets, emergency planning the
home, etc.).
The Network monitored all emergencies in its 13 county region throughout 2016 (wildfires,
earthquakes, power outages, flooding/mud slides, and/or minor issues that cause a unit to stop
services for any reason). Several patients were transferred to nearby units, as needed, to ensure
that dialysis was received during evacuations or an interruption in service outside the unit’s
control. The Network was able to assist one patient in getting a quick transfer by helping to
expedite records transfers on the unit’s behalf.
The Network experienced 11 wild fires during California’s fire season in 2016 (Boarder,
Reservoir, Fish, Bogart, Calabasas, Hollywood, Santa Clarity, Pilot, Blue Cut,
Goleta/Santa Barbara, and Kern). Each time a fire was identified; all units in the
surrounding area were contacted either by email or phone. All units provided updated
reports as requested by the Network to ensure that all the patients dialysis were met and
transfers were not required. Transfers for several patients were required as a result of
local evacuations or road closures, but no patients went without care.
A minor earthquake occurred in June of 2016. An update from CMS was requested, and
units were contacted to ensure no damage. The earthquake lasted only 30 seconds and no
damage was reported. Other minor earthquakes occurred on a regular basis in Southern
California.
In the event that patients are rescheduled due to power outages, the Network is notified
of how many patients were rescheduled and how many patients refused the rescheduling
of their treatment. If patients are moved to another location for treatment, the Network is
notified of how many patients were relocated, and to which locations they will be
treating at. All units inform the Network how long the interruption did or will last. The
Network reached out to the unit, as needed, depending on the severity of the event, or if
the unit requests additional assistance. This information is also shared with the State
