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 have been required to collect
and submit data on quality reporting measures to CMS using
Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb);
in CY 2018, this was increased to eight quality reporting measures.
In CY 2020, we launched the End-Stage Renal Disease Quality
Reporting System (EQRS), which contains the functionalities of the
three legacy ESRD Systems, including CROWNWeb, in one global
application, and aims to provide ongoing support to the ESRD user
community to foster accurate and timely monthly data submission.
The measures required for reporting under the ESRD Quality
Incentive Program are designed to reflect 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.
