Thriving Under Pressure: Building Resilient Dialysis Systems and Teams

When:  May 20, 2026 from 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM (ET)

Join us for a webinar to explore how to build resilient dialysis systems and teams. Understanding the structures, processes, and practices that influence patient safety during times of stress is essential to informing priorities and targeting interventions that strengthen resilience.

This one-hour session convenes frontline clinicians, workforce leaders, and public health partners to examine practical, evidence-informed strategies that enhance both system and worker resilience in the outpatient dialysis setting.

Continuing education for this activity is pending. See the final announcement for details.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Define healthcare system resilience and workforce resilience and describe the relevance to outpatient dialysis care settings.
  • Identify and discuss evidence-informed strategies to strengthen resilience and support among dialysis clinical staff and explain how these strategies influence patient safety and care quality.
  • Examine how resilient performance contributes to improved patient outcomes, including the prevention of dialysis-related bloodstream infections.
