Abstract:
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.

Short Statement:
For CY 2024, we are finalizing our proposal to add one new measure to be collected using data entered in EQRS beginning with PY 2026, the Facility Commitment to Health Equity reporting measure. We are also finalizing our proposals to remove two measures from the ESRD QIP measure set beginning with PY 2026, the Standardized Fistula Rate clinical measure and the Ultrafiltration Rate reporting measure. For CY 2025, we are finalizing our proposals to add two new measures to be collected using data entered in EQRS beginning with PY 2027, the Screening for Social Drivers of Health reporting measure and the Screen Positive Rate for Social Drivers of Health reporting measure. Due to these changes to the ESRD QIP measure set, the number of data elements per patient year will decrease from 229 to 126 in PY 2026 and 136 in PY 2027. The corresponding reporting burden will decrease from the currently approved estimate of approximately 4.9 million hours to approximately 2.6 million hours in PY 2026 and 2.8 million hours in PY 2027 across all dialysis facilities. Averaged out over the three years, the annual burden hours are 1,848,212.
