CROWNWeb (Coming in February 2009)

The Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web Enabled Network (CROWNWeb) project is electronic data–submission software implemented by CMS to improve data consistency, reduce complexity, and provide secured electronic data collection.

The new Conditions for Coverage require that all dialysis facilities submit patient information (events, forms, lab data) to the Networks electronically (instead of on paper.) In February 2009 CROWNWeb will be available to all dialysis facilities via an exceptionally secure Internet site. Access will require prior registration, and will include secured HTTP entry, data encryption and decryption, restricted user roles, and audits of all user actions in the system.

In the following months, CMS will continue to share information regarding CROWNWeb, and will be providing the minimum system requirements and information on CROWNWeb training opportunities to those who are interested. This training will be provided with no direct cost to the community.
