# QIR Participants

The following table outlines the four participants active in the QIR workflow:

Participant | Description
Originator | An individual who monitors quality and patient safety issues related to Home Telehealth (HT) devices. Anyone who creates and submits a new QIR is considered the Originator. QIRs submitted by the Originator may be edited by using View My or by Search All. This is the only role that can withdraw a QIR (see Originator Withdraws New QIR).
Contract Office | The Contract Office for the Office of Telehealth Services (OTS) HT Program. These users may view all QIRs, except for those with a status of "New", in the application at any time. Access is limited to view only.
National Administrator | An individual in the OTS HT Program who is responsible for approving all QIR submissions. The National Administrator reviews the Recommendations and Remarks made by the Originator and the responses provided by the Vendor. The National Administrator is the only participant who can close a QIR.
Vendor | An authorized representative for a supplier of HT equipment. Each Vendor is limited to accessing, responding to, and viewing ONLY THOSE QIRs related to the devices supplied by the associated company.

NOTE: All participants (except Vendors) may view any QIR in the application at any time by using the Search All feature.
