VISITATION PROCEDURES FOR VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY

Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) seeks to deliver high quality cost effective patient care, promote significant research, and provide superior medical education to all health care professionals. It is recognized that Vendor Representatives play an important role in achieving these goals. VUMC created a Vendor Liaison Office to assist and provide information to vendor representatives visiting our facilities to insure that their visits are appropriate, productive, and beneficial.


Registration of Vendor Representatives

Vendor representatives are required to register themselves and their companies and complete a marketing plan prior to coming on the premises (including inservicing and selling any products or services) of VUMC or its affiliates. NOTE: If you come to VUMC or any of our offsite satellite facilities more than once during a given year, then you MUST go through the registration process. The marketing plan will include information about products/services, to be marketed within VUMC, with specific departments to be targeted. This marketing plan will be reviewed by Medical Procurement or Pharmacy, as appropriate, and must be updated through these departments annually, or whenever any changes occur in the plan. This applies for general information changes also. Vendor representatives will be required to sign an affidavit indicating that they understand the visitation procedures and will comply with them. Upon completion, review, and approval of submitted documentation, vendor representatives will receive a vendor ID badge. An administrative fee will be charged to cover the cost of providing this registration program.
