Annual Reports

End Stage Renal Disease Quality Reporting System (EQRS)
EQRS is a web-based data-collection system that allows Medicare-licensed facilities to transmit ESRD-patient data electronically to Medicare (CMS). Access to EQRS is restricted to registered users who have completed security training. Much of the data that is submitted into CROWNWeb EQRS is manually entered at the facility level or is “batched” data that is transmitted directly from dialysis-corporation databases.
