CROWNWeb Registration

In January 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) opened registration for CROWNWeb to all facilities. The first step of registration is to determine who at your facility will serve as the Security Official (SO) and to establish an account for that person. For more information on the role of the SO, please visit www.projectcrownweb.org/assets/QIMS/. The SO can then assign staff to other specified CROWNWeb roles for viewing or data entry.

Instructions Security Official (SO) Registration

It is very important to recognize that you must complete the SO registration process BEFORE anyone else in your facility can start his/her registration. Your prompt registration for your QIMS and CROWNWeb accounts is key to allowing your facility to complete patient and clinical data entry by the CMS required deadlines.

Please note the Action Items below and complete them as soon as possible:

Complete the Security Awareness Training, if you've not already done so. You will need to print the certificate once you've completed the training. This training must be completed by anyone who will access CROWNWeb.
Before you begin the registration process, please view the 12-minute video about registering as the initial SO. This video provides key information about the process and will answer most questions.
If you encounter difficulty with the registration process, please contact the QualityNet HelpDesk at:

A few days after receiving the copied email above, you will get additional emails containing your temporary passwords and permanent user IDs. You will get two accounts:

QIMS SO account - For account activations and other Security Official actions ONLY (i.e. modifying current staff that can have access to the system). Access to this account is NOT available thru CROWNWeb; it is only used in via https://idm.qualitynet.org/idmadmin, a special SO QIMS site.

QIMS User account - For accessing (viewing and editing) patient and clinical data within the CROWNWeb system.

Once you have received your permanent user ID and temporary passwords, log into each account and set-up permanent passwords and answer the security questions.
