CROWNWeb

On June 24, 2009, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a timeline for CROWNWeb Phase 2.
This phase of CROWNWeb will feature modifications to the CROWNWeb application, as well as an expansion of the number of facilities that will be using CROWNWeb to submit data. On August 3, 2009, CROWNWeb Release 1.1.3 will officially come online for Phase 2 users.

Modified Plan for CROWNWeb Roll Out

CROWNWeb Communications Brochure

QualityNet Identity Provisioning System (QIPS) Account Form
The QualityNet Identity Provisioning System (QIPS) account form must be completed in order to access CROWNWeb. Every dialysis facility will need to designate a staff member within the facility as their Security Administrator (SA). The facility SA is required to complete the QIPS account form and send it to Network of New England via USPS certified mail, with return receipt request, to obtain a CROWNWeb SA account ID. Once and account ID is established, facility SA’s can create users for their facility.

Setting Up Users for CROWNWeb

When the SA account is activated by Help desk (CMS) the SA’s will get an email to log into the QIPS web site https://www.qualitynet.org/idm/user/login.jsp and change their password and answer a few security questions to complete the process of QIPS account set up. This user ID and password will allow access to CROWNWeb because QIPS and CROWNWeb use same user ID and Password. The password that is changed in QIPS by the user becomes the password for both QIPS and CROWNWeb. This will complete the process to set up the SA account.

Once the account is set up, the SA’s can create other users for their facility. Facility users that are not SA’s must complete the QIPS account form. Please use the QIPS form above. User completes the form obtains signature of the user manager, gets the form notarized and give the form to the facility SA. The completed user QIPS account form will have 3 unique signatures and 4 signatures altogether.

1. Applicant
2, User manager (signs on both pages)
3. Notary

Facility SA will enter the information from the form in QIPS at the Web site https://www.qualitynet.org/idm/login.jsp (please note: this is different from the one user logs in). Facility SA prints the last page of the account creation process called “Paperwork info” and attach it to the QIPS account form. The facility SA should complete the section “for internal use only” on the second page up to “Account creation date” (please note that SA and User Manager cannot be the same person). The user CAS account form should then be sent via USPS certified mail with return receipt to:

CROWN QIPS Processing / CSC
PO Box 12238
Durham, NC 27709

(Please note that only SA forms are sent to Network office, but facility user forms are sent directly to Helpdesk).

If you have any questions regarding the CROWNWeb application or the QIPS registration process, please contact CROWN Helpdesk at 1-888- ESRDHD1 (377-3431) or CROWN Helpdesk email address esrdhd1@esrd.net You can also contact the Network.
