Need to Knows – Data Entry Service V 7.0

When Starting a Data Entry Project Keep the Following in Mind

 

– What are the other points of trust that can be found prior to signing a contract with a data entry service provider? Some of these might seem pretty obvious but we will go over them regardless.

            After checking for HIPAA compliance and security controls, Trust needs to be looked at more carefully. The first area to go looking is at the data entry service  provider’s references. Make sure the data entry service provider provides points of contact for projects that are similar in scope of work, to the project which you are evaluating. Data entry projects come in all sizes, complexities and requirements and slight variations can make one project seem similar when in reality it is completely different. So due diligence has to be given to the references by actually calling the POCs and talking with them about the data entry service provider; all too often the references are quickly glanced at and never acted upon, take the 15 minutes and call the data entry service provider’s POCs. Next would be the pricing structure, an evaluation into “hidden” costs, which could apply for unidentified reasons; or is the proposal broken down into line items which can be easily interpreted. Another very important aspect to not overlook is your gut feeling. During the interactions you had with the data entry service provider did you feel comfortable, confident and taken care of? If these feelings were missing from the start, chances are you are not going to be happy; on the other hand, if they were present there is a higher chance that the data entry service provider is going to be a good fit for your organization. Remember, if you are evaluating a data entry service provider for a long term commitment the company cultures need to be taken into consideration.
