CMS requires facilities to indicate in EQRS which patients are considered to be 'nursing home patients.'
- Log into EQRS https://eqrs.cms.gov/
- From the Dashboard select Patients (top banner)
- Search for the patient
- Go Demographics page and EDIT the Contact Information
- Indicate whether the patient's address is a nursing home.
Remember to update this information if the patient moves out of a nursing home setting.
