RepScrubs Launches New Datacentric Platform; Helps Healthcare Organizations Simplify Credentialing Compliance, Accountability and Security
RepScrubs LLC, a leader in perioperative vendor management, has launched a new datacentric compliance platform to simplify vendor credentialing compliance, accountability, and security for hospitals, health systems and surgery centers.
Healthcare organizations often have no formal process for documenting, managing and reconciling perioperative vendor visits. RepScrubs’ closed-loop system automates the process to ensure vendors are fully compliant with clean surgical attire policies and professional credentialing requirements.
Vendor credentialing services certify that third-party suppliers, such as medical device representatives, equipment manufacturers and service personnel meet requirements for training, certifications, immunizations and other criteria before they enter restricted and semi-restricted patient areas.
“Until now, hospitals, health systems and surgery centers did not have an efficient way to document and reconcile that perioperative vendors met their mandatory policies,” said Jeffrey Feuer, RepScrubs’ CEO. “RepScrubs new platform optimizes compliance while providing robust, real-time data, along with advanced analytics and automated reporting.”

RepScrubs’ key features:
Connects information: Healthcare organizations typically do not have one department that manages and reconciles perioperative vendor compliance in real time. RepScrubs connects each facility within the health system, their departments, perioperative staff and vendors so that all receive and share real-time, consolidated data for increased visibility, accountability and security.
Automates processes: When perioperative vendors enter a restricted department, healthcare organizations may document visits manually, which is a time-consuming and cumbersome process. If a vendor does not sign in either manually or through the credentialing platform there is no record of that visit. RepScrubs documents each perioperative vendor visit by controlling the distribution of required surgical attire through an automated dispensing platform. This automated platform immediately alerts both the hospital staff and the perioperative vendors when visits are not compliant with the credentialing policies of that particular facility. The RepScrubs’ solution also automates perioperative vendor access and traffic reporting. Healthcare organizations can now receive their information in clear and concise reports pushed to them on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis.

Optimizes results: RepScrubs’ compliance data reveals vulnerabilities and opportunities for improvement that healthcare organizations may not have been aware of. With the RepScrubs’ solution, healthcare facilities and vendor companies have access to critical information, allowing them to control vendor visits, increase compliance and save money while freeing up staff to focus on patient care.In January, the U.S. Supreme Court authorized (CMS), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to withhold Medicare funds from health systems that do not implement a vaccine mandate. Given the decision, noncompliant and undocumented vendor access puts healthcare organizations at considerable financial risk, Feuer said.
“We are working to change that by helping healthcare providers automate and validate vendor compliance to policies and protocols so these valuable service providers can enter safely,” he said.
