A New Way to Oversee Vendor Contract Compliance
We're excited to publicly announce Harper: a new way for health plans and systems to oversee, analyze, and boost vendor contract compliance.
I've spent thousands of hours working across regional and national level contracts as a vendor to plans, and came to a key realization: the vendor contract compliance status quo is designed for failure. It's not really anyone's fault.
Harper is rebuilding this broken system across the contract. Compliance should be fully achieved, but it shouldn't require hundreds of hours to reach and verify.
The Problem
The problem originates on the vendor side. Vendors are left to magically find a way to constantly track 150+ unique obligations per contract without any useful tooling. The slightest organizational slip in compliance effort quickly snowballs into a situation that is effectively insurmountable for a vendor to climb back from. On the other side, plans and systems lack real-time data to identify noncompliant vendors in a vast vendor network - which can allow noncompliance to go unnoticed for months or years.
Recurring exclusion list checks, ensuring downstream entities follow their obligations, proper additional insured status - these and many other important vendor obligations largely go untracked and unverified. After spending months talking to various vendors, many vendors aren't doing these things. Altogether, this creates a viciously destructive feedback loop that makes it increasingly more difficult to achieve, track, and monitor vendor compliance for all involved while also introducing massive vendor risk.
How We're Solving This
First, Harper directly integrates with your vendors to manage and track compliance with contract obligations. Harper then gives health plans a real-time dashboard of this data to oversee and take immediate action on the entire vendor network.
With all the data collected and centralized, we're able to free up your team to perform the high impact work they excel at instead of chasing down vendor documentation.
Harper helps identify, analyze, and cure vendor contract compliance issues for health plans and health systems in days, not months, decreasing vendor risk and letting your team do more with less. You're running a tighter ship for a fraction of the cost.
