Vendor Communication Updates
Policy Updates
All vendors coming into an Ohio State Wexner Medical Center facility are required to check in at the Vendormate kiosk location to receive a daily temporary ID badge, regardless of if they’ve been granted a permeant badge or not. Please reference the vendor kiosk locations below for guidance.
All vendors must be Vendormate credentialed to enter any Ohio State facility. Vendors who aren’t registered or are seen without a temporary badge will be asked to leave the premises. Vendors must also have an established meeting or demonstration with Wexner Medical Center staff and be logged in Vendormate before entering. Vendors aren’t permitted entry without a previously established appointment. This allows our staff time to plan and prepare for meetings rather than potentially interrupting patient care for an ad hoc meeting.
