New Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard Available in EQRS

September 8, 2025

On August 28, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a new Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard in the End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Reporting System (EQRS). The dashboard will ease the process of viewing CMS forms in either saved or submitted statuses in EQRS. It will be available to all end users including CMS staff, corporate dialysis organization staff, ESRD Network staff, and dialysis facility staff.

This EQRS News Flash provides all users with instructions on how to access and view the new dashboard.

Accessing the New Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard

To access the new Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard in EQRS, log in to the Patient Registry in EQRS and select Reports Dashboard from Reports in the navigation bar (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Navigation to the Reports Dashboard

After going to the Reports Dashboard page, click the Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard option to display the dashboard. The naming configuration of the dashboard is based on your user role. Therefore, the name will be displayed as either CMS Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard, Corporate Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard, Network Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard, or Facility Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard. Figure 2 provides an example of a Facility-level dashboard.

Dashboard Overview

The top of the Form 2728 and Form 2746 Dashboard presents details regarding the data source and refresh frequency (Figure 3) and instructions on how to use different features of the dashboard (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Instructions

National and Facility Summary Tables

The National and Facility Summary tables allow users the option to filter by Form Entered Date. The date entered is the actual date that a form was added to EQRS. Please note that the system automatically defaults to a date range going back one year from the current calendar date. This filter applies to all of the summaries, the Form 2728 details table, and the Form 2746 details table. Thus, the dates in this filter must be changed if a facility needs to see data outside of this default date range (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Filter Options for National and Facility Summaries

The first data table in the dashboard, National Summary, displays the number of submitted and saved forms by type (Initial, Re-entitlement, or Supplemental), at the national level (Figure 6).

The second data table in the dashboard, Facility Summary, displays the number of submitted and saved forms by type (Initial, Re-entitlement, or Supplemental), at the facility level (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Facility Summary

The 2728 Forms Details – Patient Data table can be filtered by EQRS Patient ID, Form Status, Form Type, Date Started at Current Facility, and Date Submitted (Figure 8). To limit your view to forms in saved status, select “Saved” under Form Status.

The 2728 Forms Details Patient Data table will display all the form fields for all saved and submitted Form CMS-2728s started by the facility (Figure 9).

The 2746 Forms Details – Patient Data table can be filtered by EQRS Patient ID, Form Status, Date Submitted and Date of Death (Figure 10).  To view forms in saved status, select “Saved” under Form Status. To limit your view to forms in saved status, select “Saved” under Form Status.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Reporting System (EQRS) data submission deadlines for the remainder of calendar year (CY) 2025 are listed below. These deadlines apply to all collection types (Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis) and all submission methods. The remaining CY 2025 EQRS data submission deadlines are listed below for the following:

  • EQRS Clinical Data
  • Clinical Depression Screening and Follow-Up Assessments
  • In-Center Hemodialysis Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (ICH CAHPS) Attestation

EQRS Clinical Data opens for submission on the first day of the month and typically closes approximately two months after the end of the reporting month. EQRS deadlines occur on the last day of the month.  However, if the last day of the month falls on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the deadline will occur on the next federal business day. For additional information on how to submit data in EQRS, refer to the Education page on www.MyCROWNWeb.org.

Dialysis facilities must submit EQRS data by the deadlines listed below. Not submitting the required data by these deadlines puts your facility at risk for an ESRD Quality Incentive Program (QIP) payment reduction.

If your facility batch submits or uses Health Information Exchange/Electronic Data Interchange methods for data submission, please follow the guidance provided by your organization.

Please note: CMS strongly recommends that facilities complete large data submissions and audit batch-submitted data before submission deadlines to ensure accurate and timely data submission.
