he sole purpose the ESRD System Access Request Form is to identify the individual's data access rights once within the ESRD system. This function/data collection is currently being accomplished under "Part B" of the QualityNet Identity Management System Account Form (CMS-10267; OMB Control# 0938-1050). Once the ESRD System Access Form is approved, the QualityNet Identity Management System (QIMS) Account Form will be revised to remove Part B from the QIMS data collection.
This new ESRD Application Access Request Form was originally submitted as "Part B" of the QualityNet Identity Management System Account Form (CMS-10267; OMB Control# 0938-1050). Once this submission is approved, the QualityNet Identity Management System (QIMS) Account Form will be revised to remove Part B from QIMS collection. ESRD system accounts created using the current QIMS Account Form - Part B will not need to submit an ESRD Application Access Form for the creation of their account since that information was collected under Part B.
