NW14 - Who We Are

Who We Are

Alliant ESRD Network 14 works to assure the healthcare security for ESRD patients in Texas, as well as be a trustworthy partner for continual improvement of their health and healthcare. This includes access to equitable, appropriate and quality patient- and family-centered health care that achieves desired outcomes, protection of rights and dignity and consumer satisfaction, and dissemination of clear and useful information to assist with healthcare decisions.

We strive to understand and act upon the needs of our customers, employees, boards and partners.

Our success is dependent on collaboration with providers, patients, and the volunteer Network boards and committees.

We act with integrity in all we do.

Goals and Objectives

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has awarded two new five-year task orders to Alliant Health Solutions to serve as a Network of Quality Improvement and Innovation Contractor (NQIIC) for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Networks 8 and 14.

In these ESRD Networks, Alliant will work on national priorities and goals, collaborating with stakeholders on interventions that target patients, dialysis/transplant providers, and other providers. CMS has directed Networks to incorporate a focus on rural health and vulnerable populations in the task order activities.

Alliant will focus on the CMS priorities of improving the healthcare quality of ESRD providers and other providers; improvement of ESRD population health and outcomes; and building advisory committees and community coalitions in support of better care, smarter spending, and healthier people. The five program goals include:

Improving behavioral health outcomes;
Improving patient safety and reduce harm;
Improving care in high cost/complex chronic conditions;
Reducing hospital admissions, readmissions, and outpatient emergency visits; and
Improving nursing home care in low-performing providers
