Information Considered Sample Clauses
The 'Information Considered' clause defines what information will be taken into account by the parties when making decisions or fulfilling obligations under the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies the types of data, documents, or communications that are deemed relevant, such as written reports, official records, or notifications exchanged between the parties. By clearly outlining which information is recognized as valid and actionable, the clause helps prevent disputes over what evidence or materials can be relied upon, ensuring transparency and reducing misunderstandings.
Information Considered.
34.1 Where an application has been received, the Chair of the Department will provide the candidate with a list of all documents other than those referred to in the candidate’s dossier that will be submitted to the committee for consideration in relation to the candidate’s application. The list will include annual performance reviews and any responses to them under section 20. This list must be provided to the candidate at least ten (10) days prior to a meeting at which the candidate’s application will be considered.

Information Considered. NCQA may consider information about the operations of Organization as NCQA deems relevant to the accreditation decision and such information is not limited to information supplied to NCQA by Organization. Organization agrees to provide any and all information and materials to NCQA as requested by NCQA at any point during the accreditation process and as deemed relevant by NCQA to the accreditation decision. If Organization declines to provide information to NCQA based on the information being subject to the attorney-client or other asserted privilege, Organization acknowledges and agrees that it may receive a score of zero percent on the applicable elements(s) for which information is not provided to NCQA and such zero percent scores may impact Organization’s accreditation status. Organization further agrees to provide only true, accurate and complete information to NCQA and that submission of any Falsified Document or Fraudulent Information (defined below) used to evaluate compliance with NCQA Standards and Guidelines may be grounds for suspension, denial or revocation of accreditation.
a. Falsified Document[s] are documents provided by an applicant that have been redrafted, reformatted or fabricated, in whole or in part, with false or misleading information to substantiate compliance with NCQA Standards and Guidelines.
b. Fraudulent Information includes oral statements made by an applicant or another accredited, certified or recognized person on behalf of the applicant to substantiate compliance with NCQA Standards and Guidelines or to otherwise influence the outcome of an NCQA survey, which are false or otherwise misleading. NCQA shall notify Organization if NCQA suspect’s fraud and Organization shall have an opportunity to initially respond to such allegations within seven (7) business days of receiving such notice. If NCQA has cause to believe that Organization may have provided Falsified Documents or Fraudulent Information to NCQA, NCQA shall conduct an appropriate evaluation of the situation which may include an unannounced on-site survey of Organization. If NCQA is reasonably persuaded that Organization has provided Falsified Documents or Fraudulent Information in seeking to achieve or retain accreditation status, NCQA at its sole discretion shall take appropriate action, which may include:
a. Suspension, denial, or revocation of accreditation;
b. Notification to the responsible federal and state government agencies of suspension, denial or revocat...
