A transplant center's EQRS user with the Transplant Editor Role can perform the following activities in EQRS, without Network intervention!

If you need to Admit a patient into your Transplant Center:

- Click on Patients (top banner)

- Search for the patient to make sure they are not currently admitted into your facility

- Admit Patient using one of 2 admit reasons:

- Use NEW ESRD if patient has never received any ESRD Treatment (dialysis nor transplant) in the United State

Then change to 'New ESRD':
- Click on the Admit Date for your center
- Click Edit
- Select New ESRD as the Admit Reason
- Click Save/Submit.

- Use TRANSPLANT if patient DID previously receive dialysis or transplant treatment IN the United States

- Admit Date should be the date of transplant surgery (NOT the hospital admission)
