In healthcare organizations, vendor master data often becomes cluttered, outdated, or inconsistent due to years of manual updates, duplicate records and poor governance. When vendor files are not standardized, health systems face risks in the payable process including tax rates, freight compliance and prompt pay discounting to name a few. Inaccurate vendor data can also cause downstream issues in procurement and 1099 reporting as well.
Common signs of a compromised vendor master include duplicate records, inconsistent naming, invalid tax IDs, and outdated contact information-all of which waste time, increase costs, and expose the organization to audit risk.
