Healthcare Vendors & Vendormate
Vendor Management
TTUHSC has entered into an agreement with Vendormate to provide registration, education, screening and credentialing of health care vendors subject to HSC OP 52.16 Health Care Vendor Interactions. Vendormate also maintains an online repository of required vendor data and provides a platform to generate real-time vendor ID badge. Any health care vendors seeking access to TTUHSC facilities, clinics, faculty or residents shall register with Vendormate (new vendor registration https://registersupplier.ghx.com/registration/ ) before their visit and sign in and obtain a badge at the time of the visit.
Vendormate has added a new feature to its sign in process called “digital badging”. Digital badging allows vendors to generate a digital badge on their phone when they visit a clinic that does not have a physical Vendormate kiosk station. Click here to see a list of locations that digital badging has been implemented. Vendormate does not currently have the capability to offer the digital badging option if a kiosk sign in station is available. Therefore, vendors that visit the Lubbock main campus (TTUHSC clinics, Texas Tech Physicians Medical Pavilion, and the Center for Cardiovascular Health) still need to sign in and obtain a printed badge at the front desk of the Pavilion.
Please be aware that all vendors visiting TTUHSC clinics must have either a printed or a digital badge. If a vendor is having trouble signing up with Vendormate or has any questions regarding TTUHSC’s vendor management process, they may contact the Office of Institutional Compliance at 806-743-3333.
