Notifications and Accretions
• Notifications and Accretions that are no longer valid may be
automatically removed from Action List.
• Some Action List items no longer require action because the
actions required to perform them have been completed.
• These items will be addressed automatically, reducing the
Action List burden on facilities.
• The Action List updates will support:
 Auto-acceptance of HICNUM notifications from REMIS.
 Auto-rejection of Date of Death (DOD) notifications when the CW
DOD is within the same month/year as the REMIS DOD value.
 Ignoring of case sensitivity in the creation of notifications on fields:
last name, HICNUM, gender and first name.
 Prevention of duplicate notifications from being generated.

Additional Services
• The Facility screen in CROWNWeb contains fields editable by a
facility-level Editor and fields editable by Network-level Editors.
• Facility-level Editors work with Network-level Editors to apply
necessary updates to grayed out fields.
• With CROWNWeb 4.7, CMS updated the Facility screen to allow
Facility-level Editors to apply necessary updates to the
“Additional Services (Non-Medicare)” section.
