6 Warranties and Limitation of Liability Documentation Warranty EHR software will perform as described in the documentation There can be a difference between what salespeople verbally promise and what is documented in the functional specifications RFP response should be designated as part of documentation Performance Warranty Software, as delivered, will perform to the functional specifications Key is to make certain that functionality is adequately covered by the specifications Include obligation of vendor to comply with state and federal laws and regs, e.g., HIPAA, HITECH, etc. Maintain CCHIT and meaningful use certification Infringement Warranty Assurance against risk that the vendor s software infringes on another vendor s proprietary software Customer s rights to it data need to be maintained Obligation to procure rights to use the software or comparable software must be absolute Not acceptable for vendor to terminate and refund payments 6 Presentation Title
7 Warranties and Limitation of Liability - 2 If software does not function to specifications and the EHR system cannot be repaired by the vendor the customer may have the right to Obtain a refund from the vendor and get damages Have vendor pay for a replacement system Resort to self-help Require vendor to implement a detailed plan to remedy malfunctions The vendor will attempt to limit its liability for breach of warranty to amounts paid under the agreement Customer should quantify the total direct and indirect cost of replacing the system Specify that amount as liquidated damages for breach 7 Presentation Title
8 Termination Vendor may only terminate for nonpayment Customer may terminate for vendor s material breach Transition on termination Customer ceases use of software Immediately, if vendor termination Phased, if customer termination Vendor provides electronic copy of patient data in a format transferable to another system Vendor continues to be obligated as a business associate of customer with respect to patient data that is retained by vendor Vendor must sequester patient data that is retained by vendor 8 Presentation Title
9 Data Breach Liability Determine who the covered entity is and who is acting as a business associate of the covered entity The business associate may itself be a covered entity If the hospital is hosting or providing maintenance, it is the physician s business associate in that capacity Under HITECH, business associates are now directly liable under HIPAA Under proposed rules, business associates subcontractors who handle PHI are business associates themselves Responsibility for managing data breaches -- a covered entity may delegate responsibility for Identifying the existence of a potential breach Making the assessment whether a substantial risk of harm is presented so that a reportable breach has occurred Managing notifications Assisting with mitigation Consider partnering with an insurer and/or a data breach management vendor 9 Presentation Title

12 Source Code Escrows Protects against vendor s failure, discontinuation of supported application, acquisition by a competitor By agreement, a copy of the source code is kept by a trusted third party Mechanism for storing updates, upgrades and new releases Ensures that the customer will have future access to the source code to continue support through self-help Caveat: if software is antiquated, finding support may not be possible even if you have access to the source code 12 Presentation Title

14 Using the Vendor to Comply with Stark EHR Donation Requirements Physicians must pay at least 15% of the cost of software Hospitals do not want to be creditors of members of their medical staff Physicians may not take seriously an obligation to pay the hospital Vendors are used to being creditors of their customers Create mechanisms to be administered by vendors for Determining physician s share if costs are variable Security deposits (to avoid lapses in service) Billing of physician s share Collection of physician s share Documenting payment 14 Presentation Title
15 Antitrust Issues for GPOs GPO goals Better prices for members Improve quality, reliability, and service for members purchasing activities Improve products and services Steps to avoid antitrust enforcement Market power (35-40% of market is safety zone) Avoid potential for price-fixing collusion among purchasers if goods purchased are substantial part of overhead (> 20% of revenues) Limit member information that is gathered and shared to avoid collusive overflow Emphasize pro-competitive benefits of GPOs in helping members to reduce costs, maintain or expand offerings and charge lower prices Develop antitrust guidelines and training for GPO participants 15 Presentation Title
