7 CROWNWeb Data Validation Methods

8 Data Validation CMS utilizes multiple outlets to help ensure the accuracy and validity of data reported via CROWNWeb. CROWNWeb has built-in data verification features to inform users of a missing or out-of-range value. Error Messages Warning Messages Various aspects of CROWNWeb s data entry are cross-checked by CMS-approved contractors or external CMS databases. 8 O

9 CMS Databases CROWNWeb receives discrepancy information each night from CMS Renal Management Information System (REMIS) database, and assigns Notifications and Accretions to facilities based on that information. CROWNWeb uses the Action List screen to resolve discrepancies between CROWNWeb and REMIS database. 9 O

10 Why Notifications and Accretions? Data discrepancies are viewable on the Action List screen as a Notification or an Accretion. Notification A discrepancy in patient data between a CMS database and CROWNWeb. CROWNWeb has Identity and Event/Treatment Notifications. Accretion An ESRD patient identified in another CMS database that appears to be associated with your facility in the CMS database. The patient is not currently admitted to your facility in CROWNWeb. All users are required to work to resolve Notifications and Accretions within 30 days from when they are issued. 10 O

11 Resolving Discrepancies Users can take the following actions to resolve Notifications and Accretions: 11 Notification ACCEPT The user agrees with the patient data provided by the external source. REJECT After research, the user does not agree with the Notification. INVESTIGATE Informs other users that the Notification is under review. ESCALATE The facility cannot resolve the Notification and reassigns it to the Network. Accretions ACCEPT The user agrees with the external source and will admit the patient in CROWNWeb. REJECT The user doesn t agree with the Accretion. He/she has researched and the patient is not ESRD. INVESTIGATE Informs other users that the Accretion is under review. ESCALATE The facility submits the Accretion to the Network to be reassigned to the correct facility. O

12 Approved Contractors CMS employs various contractors to review entries in the following areas: CMS-2728 and CMS-2746 forms Quality Measures Facility attestations Notifications and Accretions And more 12 O
