November 7, 2024

Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the new Medical Personnel module and expanded the Facility Contacts section on the Facility page in the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Reporting System (EQRS). A summary of key changes is provided below; more complete information is available online at https://mycrownweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2024-10-29-Monthly-EQRS-Stakeholder-Meeting_508.pdf.

Medical Personnel Module

The Medical Personnel module has replaced the previous Personnel module and will only include medical professionals with National Provider Identifiers (NPIs). Existing medical personnel with active NPIs will be verified and migrated to this new Medical Personnel module.

6) Click Search

8) Verify that this is the correct physician’s name

9) Click Add Personnel

10) You should now see the physician added for your facility

Facility Contacts

The expansion of the facility contacts section in the facility tab will allow for the entry of important contacts such as Primary Facility Contact, Disaster Contact and Backup Disaster Contact.

To ADD facility contacts:

Login to EQRS
Click the Facilities tab
Click Search Facilities
Enter your facility’s CMS Certification Number (CCN) or facility’s name
Your facility should appear below the search field, click on it to open your facility

6) Scroll down to the Contact Information section and click View to edit

7) Click Add Contact

8) Enter all required contact information and select the correct position for that contact from the dropdown menu

9) Click Update

10) You will receive a message showing that the Facility Contacts section was updated successfully

Slides and a recording of the training on how to update the medical personnel module and add facility contacts were provided in the October EQRS Stakeholder Meeting that is available under the New User Training Resources at www.mycrownweb.org/education.
