4 Vendor Credentialing: Why are we here? 7 July 2015
5 Susi Tegen Chief Executive, MTAA
6 Vendor Credentialing Vendor credentialing within the health sector can be defined as a compliance and risk management system used to manage risk in healthcare facilities (HCFs) Reference: Vendor Credentialing Proposal for Australian Healthcare Facilities on behalf of the Medical Technology Industry 2012, MTAA p: 4
7 Vendor Credentialing Vendor Credentialing (VC) is the process of establishing the qualifications of vendors and assessing their background and legitimacy Reference: White Paper on Vendor Credentialing: A Collaborative Industry Study 2012, HSCN p: 3
8 Benefits The greatest benefit of vendor credentialing is patient safety, with authorised MCRs entering HCFs being more easily identifiable. In addition: MCRs are better protected from healthcare risks HCFs are better able to track inappropriate or non-compliant behaviour workplace safety practices are strengthened.
9 Process In markets, including Australia: credentialing is undertaken by third-party vendor credentialing (TPVC) providers on behalf of an accredited HCF an automated integrated database provides badges for accredited MCRs daily on-site at the HCF upon login There is no cost to the HCF for this service, only to companies for their staff to be credentialed. This process is essentially vendor access management, not vendor credentialing management.
10 USA experience Practice is well established in USA and came about as a result of TPVC conducts checks (e.g. vaccinations, training and police safety checks) of each MCR within a company and current liability insurance of the company on behalf of a hospital. 2. TPVC provides identification badges for those that meet the requirements. 3. TPVC retains data.
11 USA experience In September 2007, AdvaMed wrote to The Joint Commission following a review of existing hospital health care industry representative (HCIR) credentialing requirements. AdvaMed proposed nationally recognised credentialing standards that drew on existing standards (e.g. Association of perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN)), which reflected credible, purposeful and practical credentialing requirements for industry.
12 USA experience In June 2009, the Independent Medical Distributors Association (IMDA) released the Updated Joint Best Practices Recommendation for Clinical Health Care Industry Representative Credentialing. 3 This document enhanced the recommended credentialing criteria put forward to The Joint Commission in 2007 by AdvaMed. 4. Reference: Updated Joint Best Practices Recommendation for Clinical Health Care Industry Representative Credentialing, IMDA (June 2009)
13 USA: today While there are a number of relevant Joint Commission standards including awareness of visitors entering accredited healthcare facilities, maintenance of patient rights and infection control precautions, there are no specific standards that address the credentialing of HCIRs entering healthcare organisations.
14 USA: today There is no cost to the HCF for signing up to service, only to companies requiring service to access a HCF. 3 Each HCF has its own level of expectation and different credentialing requirements. Result is a wide range of disparate systems that don t necessarily meet the needs of each HCF, which has increased the time and cost burdens on industry.
15 USA: cost An HCIR who needs to access multiple HCFs may have to be credentialed with a number of TPVC providers, increasing the cost burden on companies. Its estimated to cost up to $3,000 per rep per year to credential in USA (2010 figures). Larger companies have had to employ administration staff to manage VC requirements of HCIR by TPVC providers due to the large administration burden.
16 Canadian experience To avoid the multiple vendor credentialing providers that have sprung into existence in overseas markets, MEDEC has taken an alternative path.
17 Canadian experience Working with industry and key stakeholders, a national vendor credentialing standard was developed by Healthcare Supply Chain Network (HSCN) to: minimize the costs to the Canadian healthcare system, simplify the process, avoid unnecessary duplication and protect the privacy rights of individuals. The Standard makes Vendors responsible to ensure and attest that their employees who call on healthcare facilities meet the Standard Reference: Information Sheet, HSCN National Standard for Vendor Credentialing (2013). HSCN, Canada.
18 Canadian experience Suppliers who wish to attest to their representatives meeting the national standard submit their attestation form to be published in the national registry annually at no cost. The National Standard for Vendor Credentialing is an efficient model for transferring accountability to the supplier for potential risks associated with supplier representatives having access to non-public areas of the hospital Reference: HSCN, Canada website.
19 Canadian experience The goal of the HSCN national standard and centralized registry is to streamline the credentialing process, so that healthcare providers and their suppliers can address all their credentialing needs in one place and eliminate the need for hospitals and SSO s to manage the credentialing process individually Reference: HSCN, Canada website.
20 Canadian experience In January 2013, HSCN unveiled the national standard and accompanying registry to the healthcare supply chain industry. The national standard and registry were developed in response to the request of HSCN members to develop a collaborative approach to vendor credentialing that would avoid the legal risks, inefficiencies and tremendous costs seen the US Reference: HSCN, Canada website.
21 Canadian experience The development of the national standard was based on meeting the needs of patients, healthcare providers, but ensuring the process and requirements met legal and ethical standards around human rights, labour rights, and personal privacy laws. Under the HSCN model, personally sensitive information is maintained by the representative s employer and is not transferred to HSCN or stored on 3rd party databases Reference: HSCN, Canada website.
22 Vendor credentialing for Australia Vendor credentialing should balance the need for: patient safety patient and MCR privacy high quality care immediate access to medical products efficient communication of product information and education provided by the MCR efficient use of resources by HCFs and vendors.
23 Australian experience Vendor credentialing needs to ensure it: addresses patient risk concerns of HCFs ensures continued effective interactions between clinicians and medical companies for the development and delivery of medical products across Australia is standards based is comprehensive is commercially viable.

38 WHAT WE DO MATTERS IN THE DETAIL BUT..
39 AS TERMITE MANAGEMENT FOR NEW BUILDING WORK Standards Australia has recently published a new Australian Standard for Termite Management for New Building Work known as AS AS is primarily concerned with - Providing measures to reduce the risks of undetected subterranean termite attack on buildings. - The Standard sets out requirements for the design and construction of subterranean termite management systems for new buildings and new building work. - It includes solutions for both physical and chemical termite management systems. - Options are provided so that various approaches may be used either singly, or in combination, to provided an integrated termite management system. - Improving design requirements to minimise termite damage is one of several risk reduction measures available. - The Standard describes measures to deter termite attack arising from concealed entry into a building. The system options available rely on a combination of: - Partial measures to termite passage - Perimeter inspection zones (so that when termites attack, evidence of their workings is in the open where it may be detected more readily during regular inspections) NOTE: The measures contained in the Standard cannot guarantee that a building will never be entered by termites nor will ever suffer some form of termite attack.

46 Vendor Credentialing Vendor Credentialing (VC) is the process of establishing the qualifications of vendors and assessing their background and legitimacy Reference: White Paper on Vendor Credentialing: A Collaborative Industry Study 2012, HSCN p: 3
47 The role of industry Entry to the hospital environment, particularly the perioperative area, is a privilege and not a right for industry Industry representatives play a clear role in the efficient training of hospital staff, with provision of products and services to improve patient outcomes Industry provide numerous value added benefits in addition to the products we supply, often at significant cost savings to the institution 2012 American Medical Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. 47
48 What does VC mean for industry? What problem are we trying to solve? Multiple providers = multiple costs Servicing models may be impacted by restricted access Potential privacy issues with information access What mechanisms exist to ensure TPVC providers remain compliant? The industry is vibrant with over 500 suppliers ranging from small startups to large multinationals. It is vital that an equitable playing field remains for all, not just those who can pay.
49 What are the benefits? Most perioperative environments already require sign in MTAA provides MCR accreditation for ACORN standards The public can access most areas of the hospital without accreditation, so how does vendor credentialing improve compliance? MCR s provide services free of charge, which would otherwise be borne by the hospitals MCR s are happy to be credentialed providing it is simple and cost effective
50 What are the costs? The financial cost for one MCR to be credentialed to enter one healthcare facility, and then have that process repeated across a number of facilities using a range of TPVC providers could be far reaching. Current product pricing restraints means suppliers can not absorb significant credentialing costs without changing servicing models Restricted access may result in cost transfer to healthcare providers and result in adverse patient outcomes Ensuring one entry, many exits of credentialing data is the best way to minimise the cost burden to companies.
51 Burden on Australian industry The three immediate issues for Australian medical companies in relation to vendor credentialing MCRs are: 1. Vendor fees 2. Replication 3. Confidentiality of data
52 Vendor credentialing The aim of vendor credentialing should be to balance the need for: patient safety patient and MCR privacy high quality care immediate access to medical products efficient communication of product information and education provided by the MCR efficient use of resources by HCFs and vendors.
53 What is needed? It s essential that the requirements for vendor credentialing be defined to ensure patient safety and the continued effective interactions between clinicians and medical companies for the development and delivery of medical products across Australia. A national standard for vendor credentialing, not access control, that is accepted by any Australian healthcare facility is required. A single, simple process for credentialing that protects employee privacy,preferably industry developed.
