There is no one entity that is driving this
overall initiative. In my opinion it is a
culmination of many different oversight
efforts.

GOVERNANCE Corporate Responsibility
The Governing Board member may be expected to exercise general supervision and oversight of quality of care and patient Safety issues.
excerpted from (AHLA Annual Meeting June 25-27, 2007 “Corporate Responsibility and Health Care Quality – A Resource for Board of Directors – A Callender et .al.

There are many reasons to have a vendor
management program from an infection control
perspective;
Pandemic Plan for Hospitals from CDC
“ A Plan has been developed for facility access during a pandemic…”
Can you tell me who is in your hospital right now?
![Page 15: Vendor Management September 7 th 2007 James Mahan, Vice President Yankee Alliance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8e27550346a10a8b57f5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Deficit Reduction Act of 2005
...requires any entity, such as a hospital, that receives greater than $5,000,000 per year in Medicaid funds to implement a False Claims Education Policy. The policy must include detailed information about the False Claims Act and refer to or describe the hospital’s procedures for detecting and preventing waste, fraud and abuse. The policy was required to be in effect on January 1, 2007
![Page 16: Vendor Management September 7 th 2007 James Mahan, Vice President Yankee Alliance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8e27550346a10a8b57f5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ApplicabilityWhat many providers may not realize is that the policy
applies not only to the provider’s employees, but also to any contractors or agents of the hospital.
A contractor or agent is any person who furnishes Medicaid health care items or services, performs billing or coding functions, or is involved in monitoring of health care provided by the hospital on behalf of the hospital. This is a broad definition and could include consultants, vendors, and other entities providing services to or for your hospital.

Health Law Alerts – August 2006(excerpted)
In certain cases, contractors, such as supply vendors, may receive hundreds of policies from various hospitals, which may pose a practical challenge for the contractors’ compliance.
In case CMS decides to verify the hospital’s compliance, we recommend documenting the hospital’s efforts to notify its contractors of its policy.
![Page 18: Vendor Management September 7 th 2007 James Mahan, Vice President Yankee Alliance.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070308/551b8e27550346a10a8b57f5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Knowledge Standard
This standard imposes on a provider to be fully aware of the status of billing, claims…..and the providers with whomthey employ contract and or affiliate.
In other words you can’t play dumb if you should or could have known.
