CoreStream GRC is proud to announce the launch of the new Open Payments API that complements our Conflict of Interest (COI) solution. This new API significantly reduces the time spent comparing CMS Open Payments data with disclosures made during the COI process, helping Compliance Officers in the healthcare industry streamline their processes.
Key Features:
Integrated view for participants
Users can now view the Open Payments data as they fill out their disclosures. This seamless integration ensures that individuals are fully aware of any payments reported to CMS, helping them provide accurate and complete information during the conflict of interest process.
Easy comparison for organizations
Organizations can easily compare what is reported to Open Payments with what has been disclosed. This feature simplifies the reconciliation process, ensuring that all disclosures align with the data reported to CMS, thereby enhancing transparency and compliance.
Enhanced reporting and trend analysis
Our API enables organizations to generate reports, identify trends, and easily compare data. Companies can see data specific to their interests and processes, enabling them to make informed decisions and maintain a high level of compliance.
Automated new hire process
With the new API, organizations can automate the new hire process using the National Provider Identifier (NPI) number. This automation reduces administrative workload and ensures that all new hires are promptly and accurately incorporated into the compliance system.
The benefits for Compliance professionals
The healthcare industry is heavily regulated, and Compliance Officers face numerous challenges in ensuring that all data is accurate and transparent. The introduction of CoreStream GRC’s Open Payments API addresses these challenges by streamlining the process and providing a robust tool for managing conflict of interest disclosures and Open Payments data.
