b.Augmedix, or the Service Provider upon Augmedix’s written consent, will provide a proposed medical specialty training plan for the MDSs , if applicable.

 

6.In-Service

 

a.Once medical specialty training (if applicable) has been completed, the MDS is permitted to begin drafting Notes and Charts for his or her assigned User. A MDS is “in service” when he or she consistently produces one or more Charts meeting Augmedix’s minimum standards (as communicated by Augmedix and updated from time to time) for his or her assigned User.

 

b.Service Provider is responsible for scheduling a DA Audit or submitting a specialty approval checklist when it deems a MDS to be consistently producing 100% of a User’s Charts meeting Augmedix standards for his or her assigned User’s scheduled shifts.

 

c.The Service Provider will make best efforts to ensure that MDSs that are assigned to a ramp up for a new User or transition to an existing User progress according to a schedule and benchmarks set by Augmedix. A MDS that fails to progress according to the schedule and meet the associated benchmarks shall, at Augmedix’s sole discretion, be:

 

1)Required to complete a performance improvement plan provided by Augmedix (“PIP”);

 

2)Removed from the assigned User, and be available for assignment on a different User; or

Any failure on the part of Service Provider to follow the Change Management Process will be considered a “Breach of Process” for which Service Provider must provide proper justification.  Augmedix may audit any changes to verify the requests.

 

7.Service Escalation Management

 

All critical and high-priority incidents (defined below) resulting in the loss of service must immediately trigger the creation of a war-room by the Service Provider and the involvement of the Service Provider and Augmedix technical teams to facilitate the discussion of outstanding issues and satisfactory resolution and closure of the ticket(s):

 

Interruption making a critical functionality inaccessible or a complete network interruption causing a severe impact on services availability.

 

Critical functionality or network access interrupted, degraded or unusable, having a severe impact on services availability.

 

In order to facilitate the management of escalated incidents, the Service Provider must provide to Augmedix a tiered Escalation Matrix that must include the name of the individual, phone number, email, and conditions under which an incident will be escalated up the management chain.

 

8.Service Security

 

Service Provider is expected to make sure that critical network infrastructure, systems, applications and MDS operations have all the necessary security controls in place for a safe and secure operating environment. Adherence to the compliance, security and privacy requirements set forth in the Operational Requirements for Service Providers (“ORSV”) document is mandatory.

 

8.1ORSV Audits

 

Augmedix or its designee shall have the right to audit, monitor, and verify Service Provider’s compliance with the ORSV.  Augmedix may perform two such audits per twelve (12) month period; provided, however, Augmedix may perform additional audits in response to specific security or privacy incidents or identified gaps in compliance with the ORSV.  Augmedix will bear the cost of two planned audits per year. The cost of any additional audits conducted in response to specific security incidents, privacy incidents or identified gaps in compliance will be borne by the Service Provider.
