Facilities can view in EQRS the real-time patient transplant waitlist status as it appears in UNOS (United Network of Organ Sharing).
- Log into EQRS https://eqrs.cms.gov/globalapp/
- Scroll to the bottom of the Dashboard to the section: Dialysis Facility Transplant Waitlist.
- On the right you will see all your facility patients who have transplant waitlist information.
- Click Download CSV to get an Excel file of the full list.
- Type into Patient to search for a specific patient name.
- Hover over the Transplant Center column to get the contact information for the waitlisted transplant center.
How To Use This Information
- Identify which patients are missing from this Report and focus efforts towards getting them waitlisted:
- Contact the Network to request assistance from the Transplant Project Lead.
- Use and discuss Network resources with eligible patients.
- Identify barriers holding the patients back from getting on the waitlist.
- Review each listed patient’s Waitlist Status:
- Active: Patient is active on one (or multiple!) transplant waitlists – help them stay positive and support them in moving forward towards receiving a transplant.
- Removed: monitor the Removal Date and Removal Reason to determine if anything can be done to add patient back on the transplant waitlist.
- Temporarily Inactive: Talk with the Patient and Transplant Center to find ways to get the patient back on the Active list – so they do not miss out on an opportunity to receive a transplant!
