Vendor relations

Vendor registration
Geisinger’s vendor program is meant to protect the health of its patients and employees. All Geisinger vendors are expected to become familiar with:

Vendors are expected to uphold all guidelines set forth within each document. These documents may be updated from time to time.

In addition, Geisinger has enacted further requirements for clinical vendors (as defined in Section II of the Vendor Policy and Procedure) in the form of vendor credentialing, which is managed through symplr. These requirements have been put in place to better control vendor access and to help validate that all such vendors are appropriately trained, authorized and insured by their employer, further ensuring the safety of the patients, staff, visitors and vendors of Geisinger.

  • If you are a clinical vendor, but are not a symplr member, go to www.symplr.com and click on Sign Up. Vendors needing assistance with signing up should contact symplr at 866-373-9725.
  • Clinical vendors who already are symplr members should go to www.symplr.com and login using their current user ID and password to register with Geisinger.

Clinical and pharmaceutical vendors must be fully credentialed within thirty (30) days of notification.

Vendor check-in
Clinical vendors wishing to visit departments, sections or clinics at Geisinger must have an appointment and, upon arrival on a Geisinger property, will report to the appropriate clinical vendor registration area between 6 a.m. - 8 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Vendors who are checking in to Geisinger's surgical suites, are asked to leave their cell phones in the locker room area. Cell phones have a negative impact on some communication systems in our operating rooms areas and we vendors to be courteous of this rule.
