If you see this Warning when trying to admit a patient into EQRS...

• Search for the patient to make sure they are not already admitted.
• Check the SSN. 
• Check the MBI on the Medicare Card.
• Check if patient name is switched or misspelled (‘Bob’ or ‘ROBERT’ instead of ‘Robert’).
• Check if patient has 2 last names (with or without a “ – “ separating them).
• Check if date of birth is ‘off’ by one number. 
• Use the correct Admit Reason:  https://esrd.ipro.help/hc/en-us/articles/33114898369171-EQRS-Admit-and-Discharge-Reasons-IPRO-Resource
