National Engagement Opportunities

National Patient and Family Engagement Learning and Action Network (NPFE-LAN)

The NPFE-LAN is a partnership between patients, family members, caregivers, and dialysis providers. Become a subject matter expert (SME) to share the patient or caregiver point of view and drive improvement in the kidney community. In the NPFE-LAN you can help solve problems and make patient care better at a national level.

NPFE-LAN Affinity Groups

Each year, the NPFE-LAN holds four separate groups, called Affinity Groups, focused on specific areas of dialysis and transplant care. The groups meet monthly by webinar (phone and/or computer) to share experiences and discuss ways to improve the quality of care for kidney patients and meet the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) quality improvement goals.
