The Made in Canada Approach to Vendor Credentialing Healthcare Supply Chain Network 42
HSCN National Standard for Vendor Credentialing The HSCN National Standard was developed in 2012 by healthcare providers, based on their needs. It included a legal review as well as review by vendors for reasonability. It is the process of establishing the qualification of vendors and assessing their background and legitimacy Intent is to safeguard patients, residents and staff and to minimize risk association with vendor reps onsite It brings consistency to how Canadians manage vendor / healthcare relationships within a no cost structure 43 43
HSCN National Standard on Vendor Credentialing Vendors must provide an annual attestation stating that each rep who calls on a healthcare organization to supply goods or services abides by the standard The standard details and requires: risk screening during the hiring process; immunization status goods/services training privacy and confidentiality laws provincial agreements on procurement and trade agreements code of ethics hand hygiene training related to sterile or restricted healthcare areas 44 44
Current Status on Uptake HSCN Standard adopted in by 19 hospitals in Ontario and implemented in BC (>250 facilities) Beginning January 1 st, 2015 the province of Quebec MSSS has indicated that for those QC hospitals seeking to implement vendor credentialing requirements, the hospitals must utilize the HSCN Standard (or equivalent). Canadian College of Healthcare Leaders board supports the Canadian Coalition position paper on Vendor Credentialing 45
Attested to by 33 supplier organizations HSCN has introduced the VC Complaint logo - supplier request for use on business cards and websites 46
Survey Findings HSCN engaged a marketing firm to survey healthcare providers and suppliers on a number of topics associated with vendor credentialing 91% of respondents were aware of that HSCN has created the National Standard 2 notable questions Will setting and establishing standards and credentials become more or less of an issue for Canadian healthcare institutions? What aspects of VC do you think are most important? 47
Survey Results Will setting and establishing standards and credentials will become more or less of an issue for Canadian healthcare institutions? More 57% Less 13%? Don t Know 25% 48
Survey Results What aspects of VC do you think are most important? 1. Protection of Patient Privacy and Information (57%) 2. Ensuring that HCIR s understand hospital policies (55%) 3. Training of HCIR s and Background Checks of HCIR s (41%) 49
Next steps For information of the National Standard for Vendor Credentialing go to www.hscn.org/credentialing.aspx If you have questions contact HSCN through the website or Susan Smith at susansmith@hscn.org Cell: (905) 570-4500 Providers who wish to adopt and/or implement the national standard fill in a simple form (on website) and send it to HSCN; Healthcare organization is posted to the website list so that vendors are aware Healthcare provider organization then has current on-line visibility to vendors who have attested annually 50
