On November 19, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released new Patient Events Summary and Patient Roster Dashboards in the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Reporting System (EQRS). These dashboards will replace the Patient Events and Patient Roster Reports that currently exist in EQRS. The dashboards are available to all end users including CMS staff, corporate dialysis organization staff, ESRD Network staff, and dialysis facility staff. The following provides all users with instructions on how to access these dashboards. |
