Answer: With EQRS 1.2, facilities will not be able to change the Admit Date to a date that is different than the Treatment Record date. That will ensure that they both agree. 13

15 EQRS Treatment Information and the CMS-2728 Form Question: How will CROWNWeb handle a Treatment Record that is associated with an existing 2728?

Answer: With the upcoming EQRS 1.2 release, a notification alert that a Medicare Claim Number exists for a patient in another external database such as REMIS, but not in CROWNWeb, will be autoaccepted. The patient attributes screen will automatically display the Medicare Claim Number. Users will not need to accept the notification and will not even see it. 17
