Sales or service calls by vendor representatives were identified as a potential patient safety issue in a Baltimore, Maryland/Washington, DC, hospital system. A vendor badging program, which requires vendor representatives to provide a background check, documentation of substance abuse testing, health information, and proof of education was implemented after nine months of investigation and planning. Three levels of badges were created. The level of the badge indicates whether the vendor representative has access to non-patient care areas only; patient care areas; or restricted patient care (ie, sterile) areas.
在马里兰州巴尔的摩市/华盛顿特区的一个医院系统中，供应商代表进行的销售或服务电话被认定为一个潜在的患者安全问题。经过九个月的调查和规划，实施了一项供应商徽章计划，该计划要求供应商代表提供背景调查、药物滥用检测文件、健康信息和教育证明。创建了三个级别的徽章。徽章级别表明供应商代表是否只能进入非患者护理区域；患者护理区域；或受限的患者护理（即无菌）区域。
