Activities and projects carried out by the Networks in the area of data management include: Establishment of a baseline patient-specific data system in some Networks (which is more detailed in those Networks with computerized data programs) Collection and validation of patient specific data reported on MIS non-reimbursement forms and the MIS 6-month facility survey forms. Use of data to assist in ESRD application review process by local and state health planning agencies. These agencies use Network data as a basis for the utilization review and certificate of need process. The data reflect current utilization and resource availability. Development of profile analysis of patient populations. Collection of data used for long term planning of ESRD health services. Assistance to other agencies (GAO, CDC, NIH) in their studies of the ESRD problem. ESRD Statistics Data Overview.
