Section 1881(h) of the Social Security Act, as amended by section 153(h) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, authorizes the establishment of a quality incentive program for renal dialysis facilities. Beginning in CY 2016, renal dialysis facilities will be required to collect and submit data on four quality reporting measures to CMS using Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb); in CY 2017, this will be increased to six quality reporting measures. Measures are added to the ESRD Quality Incentive Program in order to ensure a measure set that reflects the appropriate level of care and the most important areas of service furnished by renal dialysis facilities. Measure data are intended to be publicly reported.

The ESRD QIP has consistently expanded its measure set since the inception of the ESRD QIP in CY 2011, and is now proposing to add two new reporting measures beginning in CY 2017. These proposed additions to the ESRD QIP are expected to result in an increased burden to renal dialysis facilities. These added measures support the ESRD QIP's mission of ensuring that ESRD patients receive high-quality care from their renal dialysis facilities by ensuring that the facilities are diligent in monitoring crucial aspects of ESRD patients' care.
