A review of the Bard "Open Lines" Education Program

Each nephrology professional is impacted by the ever-tightening belt and shrinking budget. One of the many challenges facing us today is having to do more with less, and this will only continue. Not all nephrology programs have educators, which means that resource materials may be scarce if they exist at all. It is very encouraging to see industry work with our professional group to develop programs and tools for both nursing and patient education. This type of collaboration is necessary to provide us with current materials enabling us to provide excellent patient care.
