Vendor Management

To Our Valued Suppliers

Dear Vendor,

Methodist Healthcare has implemented a vendor program that includes a series of strict policies aimed at better managing the rising complexity of regulatory compliance issues.  The policies were developed with patient safety in mind and will enforce protocols for a more professionaland consistent relationship with vendors.By the June 13, 2008 all existing vendors must be listed in the system in order to continue doing business with Methodist Healthcare. 

Please register at https://SAHealth.vendormate.com

There is a nominal annual fee for vendor registration which is per company registration, not per representative.  The fee ranges from $25 to $250 per year and the actual fee is determined by the hospital based on the vendor’s risk profile. The annual fee is paid to our partner, Vendormate, Inc.  It is used to purchase 3rd party data, perform screening and credentialing, store compliance information, documentation, notify vendors of training, policy changes, compliance regulations, as well as monitor and alert company status throughout the year.  We expect each of your representatives who interact with us to register and provide his/her representative details.  Only the first representative to register will be charged the fee.  Below is a list of the participating hospitals and facilities.   Your registration applies to all 22 facilities. I thank you for your service to Methodist Healthcare and appreciate your participation in this program.  If you have business questions or require technical assistance in completing the registration, please contact SAHealth@vendormate.com.   

Sincerely
Vice President of Materials Management
