SoftDev is continuing our support of the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) community as a subcontractor to SemanticBits on the much-anticipated End Stage Renal Disease Quality Reporting System (EQRS) Patient Registry Portal and Analytics (PRP&A) effort. EQRS serves as the National Patient Registry and Quality Improvement Tool for the CMS ESRD Program, supporting a number of functions, including acting as the foundation for quality measure data that supports the ESRD Network Program’s Quality Improvement activity data. This system is a critical component in CMS’ efforts to support ESRD patients across the nation. The EQRS PRP&A effort consists of two primary divisions of architectural responsibility: (1) data collection and reporting to external end users, and (2) data integration, analytics, and reporting to internal stakeholders.  

SoftDev has been chosen for this work given our deep ESRD data / program knowledge and skilled data validation processes. With a team led by ESRD Subject Matter Expert Michael Kennedy, PhD., we are committed to enhancing the integrity of EQRS data and serving the broader ESRD community. SoftDev is excited to continue our relationship with CMS’ Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ) Information Systems Group (ISG) as we collaborate on this important work.  

Founded in 1999, SoftDev is a leading healthcare IT company. The firm is a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and has maintained HUBZone certification continually since 2007.
