Dialysis Centers Compliance Tracking

Track CCHT certification, nursing licenses, and BLS across your dialysis care team.

Common challenges

Where this typically breaks down

Common operational pain points for dialysis centers.

Patient care technicians often need CCHT (Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician) certification within a set time after hire, per CMS rules.

Nursing staff licenses and BLS certifications renew on separate cycles from technician certifications.

CMS conditions for coverage require documented staff competency records available for surveyor review.
