A transplant center's EQRS user with the Transplant Editor Role can perform the following activities in EQRS, without Network intervention!
If you need to Admit a patient into your Transplant Center:
- Click on Patients (top banner)
- Search for the patient to make sure they are not currently admitted into your facility
- Admit Patient using one of 2 admit reasons:
- Use NEW ESRD if patient has never received any ESRD Treatment (dialysis nor transplant) in the United State
- Use TRANSPLANT if patient DID previously receive dialysis or transplant treatment IN the United States
- Admit Date should be the date of transplant surgery (NOT the hospital admission)
- Enter ALL required information including SSN and MBI if available, update patient address, race, ethnicity, as needed.
- Enter Treatment (donor type), Functioning Status, and nephrologist
