State and Region Profiles

The State and Region Profiles for ESRD Patients and Facilities have been produced annually since 2001 under contract to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).  Each State Survey Agency receives its State Profile along with the Dialysis Facility Reports for each facility in the state.  Each CMS Regional Office receives its Region Profile along with the State Profiles and Dialysis Facility Reports for the region.  The State and Region Profiles allow comparisons of the characteristics of a particular state or region's patients, patterns of treatment, and patterns in transplantation, hospitalization, and mortality to national averages.
