What is Vendor Credentialing? Hospital vendor credentialing is the authorization process that a medical vendor sales representative must go through in order to be allowed access into a hospital or healthcare facility.
It was always difficult to identify exactly who was in your facility, because people are coming in and out, through a variety of different entrances and exits, including the loading dock. But, by mid-2020, COVID-19 did what legions of security professionals couldn’t – it made everyone aware of who was around them, and who was in their facility at any point in time.
Electronic visitor management systems are used to sign in and track visitors who come to visit a facility. These types of systems are popular with schools, healthcare facilities, and businesses of all kinds. Electronic visitor management systems are an electronic version of the visitor sign-in sheet or visitor log book used in buildings for years.
In these COVID-19 times, every facility needs to document who is in their buildings. This includes visitors and staff. Our new Confidential Visitor Sign-In Book with Contact Tracing is an effective and inexpensive way to document all people who enter a building.
3 new eVisitor software security features help manage your visitor capacity. Your hospital’s visitors, vendors, and contractors come and go. If you don’t know who they are, where they’re going, and why, you’re exposing your people and property to considerable harm.
Manage your points of entry and badge every visitor to keep your hospital safe for patients and staff. Allowing unidentified visitors is a security risk. THRESHOLD products make it easy to sign in and badge every visitor, so you know who is in your building.
A visitor management system should tell you who has permission to be in your facility and who does not. A good VMS, in support of your visitor policies: requires visitors to check in at the front desk, allows the front desk to authorize visits (and to refuse them)…
At best, not identifying visitors makes employees wonder about them. At worst, it leaves people exposed to potential harm. Any unauthorized visitor should be considered a security breach, with assumed bad consequences, such as: bringing disease into your hospital, now more than ever…
Choosing the right VMS requires asking the right questions. A good visitor management system, or VMS, lets you sign in, identify, and track your visitors. This helps protect your patients and staff from outsiders. Every hospital has different needs.

The Red Flag feature has been improved! Now you can set your system to not print a badge for any visitor record that has been previously marked with a Red Flag. The attendant will be prompted to redirect the visitor according to your security protocol.
It’s easy and free to activate this feature. Simply call us and ask for “Red Flag, No Badge” to be turned on. Once it’s on, the above pop-up will come up when a red flagged visitor comes back. No badge will print and the attendant will need to follow the facility’s policy for handling red flagged visitors.
The flags and notes only show to the desk attendant, not the visitor.
Please contact eVisitor Support with any questions on how to use Flags in your system.
