Vendormate credentialing

Effective April 14, all supplier representatives who are registered in Vendormate and are present in Operating Rooms (OR), and other procedural patient care areas are REQUIRED to upload proof of vaccination or company approved exemption to gain access into our facilities.

To protect patient safety and confidentiality, supplier representatives must adhere to all OhioHealth credentialing requirements. All suppliers must register in Vendormate, OhioHealth’s supplier credentialing system.

• Supplier representatives who fail to provide the appropriate documentation through Vendormate are not permitted to visit any patient care area until requirements are up to date.
• All suppliers providing goods and services within OhioHealth patient care areas must maintain appropriate credentials specific to competency and preventive health.

After registration and verification of all appropriate documentation, supplier representatives visiting patient care areas will be eligible for an identification badge or visitor’s badge.

• Representatives must sign in at a kiosk upon arrival to print out a badge.
• Badges should be worn for the duration of the visit at the facility.
• Representatives must sign out when departing.

Procurement of goods and services

• Purchase orders (PO’s) are the only approved methods OhioHealth uses for the commitment to procure goods and services. Providing goods and services without a valid OhioHealth purchase order puts your company at risk for nonpayment.   
• PO numbers must appear on all shipments, packing lists and invoices.
• Engaging in services or providing goods without a valid OhioHealth PO number is against policy and will result in delayed or no payment.
• Upon completion of internal approvals, a PO will be issued to the supplier via email, EDI, or as specified on the Supplier Information Form. Exception: “Open” PO numbers will be verbally communicated, rather than issued.
• OhioHealth standard terms and conditions apply to all goods and services procured by OhioHealth unless superseded by a pre-existing contract between OhioHealth and the supplier.
• OhioHealth only pays for materials and services specified on the PO. OhioHealth does not pay for goods shipped in excess of the specified quantity or for work that is not specified on the PO.
• Supply Chain Services must approve changes to specifications (quantity, price, delivery, and scope of work, etc.) via an approved PO change order or contract amendment. The OhioHealth department associates who initiated the PO for the supplier should be the primary contact for any questions and can provide PO information if needed.
