The QualityNet Identity Management
System (QIMS) account registration form must be completed by any
new persons needing access to Consolidated Renal Operations in a
Web Enabled Network (CROWNWeb.) The 8,561 existing accounts owners
will not have to reregister for new user accounts. The CROWNWeb
user community is composed of CMS employees, ESRD Network
Organization staff and dialysis facilities staff. The CROWNWeb
system is the system used as the collection point of data necessary
for entitlement of ESRD patients to Medicare benefits and Federal
Government monitoring and assessing of quality and type of care
provided to renal patients. The data collected in QIMS will provide
the necessary security measures for creating and maintaining active
CROWNWeb user accounts and collection of audit trail information
required by the CMS Information Security Officers (ISSO).
