2011-2012 VAIP UPDATE
Visit our 2011-2012 Vascular Access Improvement Projects Homepage for additional toolkits created from the 3Ps Handbook.
The 3Ps of Vascular Access Success
The 3Ps handbook was designed to guide your hemodialysis vascular access improvement efforts and change existing practices through Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) projects. This handbook brings together a number of best-practice concepts and suggested tools in support of those concepts.
All dialysis facilities in The Renal Network will recieve a hardcopy handbook through the mail after September 6, 2011.
