Who Was Qualified That Day

When a credential changes, the work done under it should be read again, and everything resting on it.

The problem. A revocation is often effective from an earlier date, a training can lapse unnoticed, and an appeal can set a revocation aside. The HR system tells a manager; tasks already done, and the releases, shipments and payments resting on them in other departments, wait.

What this demo shows. On generated years Fabric missed 0 of 93 tasks and records a notice reached; the HR system missed 55 and a name search flagged a namesake's work. On real records, 150 of 348 excluded providers were gone from Medicare's ordering list by the next quarterly snapshot, 156 were still listed a quarter later, and 29 excluded providers are still listed today.

How it works:

The honest part. The verdicts are judged on a fictional company's generated year. The real timing is sampled quarterly, an upper bound; reinstated providers are not on the exclusion list, and being listed is not ordering. Employers' own records are not public.

Fabric tells every department, the day a credential changes, which work to review and which still stands.

Every QC test, batch step, production change and payment approval needs a qualified person on the day it is done, and lot releases, shipments, software releases and payments rest on that work. When a qualification is revoked from an earlier date, a training lapses before anyone notices, or a revocation is set aside on appeal, the HR system tells a manager; the work already done, and what rests on it in other departments, waits. Fabric reads each task again against the credentials valid on its day and follows it to everything resting on it.

Sections 1 and 2: a generated year of a fictional company, with planted notices and an answer key. Section 3: real OIG exclusions and CMS's Medicare ordering-and-referring lists, saved as fetched; counts only.

each task or record reached, by Fabric's verdict:standsreview

2. Against the HR system and a name search

3. The real record: a withdrawn credential, still listed
