CROWNWeb Information
With the updated Conditions for Coverage comes a challenging CMS mandate for all outpatient dialysis facilities and for Network 8. With the national rollout of CROWNWeb, expected in 2010, facilities will be required to submit all 2728 and 2746 forms, all patient events, and all CPM and Fistula First data electronically.
CROWNWeb, a free, secure internet software program created by CMS, will be the method for submitting data. All facilities will use this software—no more paper forms of these types to send to the Network office!!
Each facility should enroll at least two staff members for user accounts. This will require completing and notarizing forms. These two staff members will have the ability to create other user accounts for additional staff members at your facility as needed. Click here for directions on how to apply for a CROWNWeb account.
On-line training is available to all staff members at all facilities. The on-line training is designed in task-specific modules so that your Data Contact, for example, can learn how to enter new patients but will not need to learn how to enter the clinical data for CPMs or Fistula First.
