Supplier Access to University Offices and Departments

Supplier access to Strong Memorial Hospital is outlined in Policy 12.01.1 Vendor Representatives. Vendor representatives may not be present in Strong Memorial Hospital unless they have an appointment. All vendor representatives must be credentialed with Symplr if they wish to do business with the hospital.

It is the vendor's responsibility to contact Symplr to be credentialed prior to scheduling an appointment with any Hospital practitioner or staff member. Vendor representatives must contact Symplr http://www.symplr.com (281-863-9500) to complete the credentialing application prior to coming to the Hospital premises. After the credentialing process has been completed with Symplr, vendor representatives will be issued a Symplr badge that clearly displays their name and company affiliation. This badge must be worn at all times while the representative is on the Hospital premises. This includes both the hospital facility and off-site facilities such as the Purchasing offices at Celebration Drive.

The vendor representative must report to the information desk in the Hospital's main lobby and produce their Symplr badge. The vendor representative must swipe the Symplr badge into the Symplr station before entering and when leaving the Hospital property.
