Evaluating Infection Prevention Strategies in Out-Patient Dialysis Units Using Agent-Based Modeling

Patients receiving chronic hemodialysis (CHD) are among the most vulnerable to infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO), which are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Current guidelines to reduce transmission of MDRO in the out-patient dialysis unit are targeted a...
