The End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) National Coordinating Center (NCC) supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) national goals and Network Quality Improvement Activities (QIAs) through the development and implementation of Expert Team events.
Expert Teams bring groups of providers and specialists at centers of excellence together in regular real-time collaborative sessions. The sessions are designed around case-based learning and mentorship and help local healthcare professionals and clinicians gain the expertise required to provide needed services. Participants gain skills and learn new approaches for applying their knowledge across diverse cultural and geographical contexts.
