So, how can Clinicpass benefit you and your healthcare organization?
It keeps representatives in the clinic
Clinicpass understands and appreciates the presence of medical representatives in the clinic. Representatives bring valuable knowledge of pharmaceutical and product indications, adverse events, and patient assistance programs. Additionally, when available, they can provide samples and financial assistance program information for their products, thereby helping patients obtain the medication they need. Overall, their presence can contribute to improved patient care and increased awareness of treatment options. The system is organized to avoid having representatives just "drop-in", taking valuable time away from patient care. The driving force behind Clinicpass was to keep representatives in the clinic, in a convenient and easy way, to provide all these benefits at zero cost to your organization.
It offers you access to a free employee
Did you know the average clinic spends over 20 hours a month managing representative calls and visits?
The benefit of saving time that Clinicpass offers is significant, as it can help medical staff and clinics streamline their operations. By providing a comprehensive scheduling and compliance platform, Clinicpass acts as a free and punctual employee, effectively reducing the time and effort spent managing rep appointments and protocols. Not only does this save time on the back end, but it is also valuable in reducing interruptions, allowing the focus to stay on the patients. By automating and simplifying various administrative tasks, Clinicpass allows medical staff to allocate more time to patient care and other critical responsibilities, ultimately increasing overall productivity for your organization.
It provides extra safeguards for your clinic
Clinicpass Verify adds an extra layer of protection and is a safeguard for compliance and transparency. By utilizing this feature, reps must "check off" and upload the necessary required Health Quality Measures. This includes OIG exclusion checklist, vendor records for HIPAA training, Product Training and vaccination documentation (COVID, MMR, Chicken Pox, Flu & TB.) This is something hospitals have been doing for over a decade that has now trickled down to clinics as well. It's compliance at its finest!
Data, Data, Data
CMS urges providers and administrators to track their own spend of what is expensed on them through educational events (including food). Clinicpass tracks this information for you through the help of your reps! It is super easy for the reps to do & it is of HUGE benefit to the clinic for accounting purposes. After each event involving food, the rep must report the details of the event within 30 days for clinic accounting (how much was spent, providers present & numeric value of non-physicians in attendance). The information provided is for your clinic's accounting records only and can be compared to what is reported to CMS Open Payments (Sunshine Act). It is better to have the information and not need it than to need the information and not have it!
