Welcome...

We are committed to providing the best patient care available to our patients. As a healthcare industry representative, you are an integral part of this process and it is a priority of ours to ensure that we, and our vendors, are compliant with hospital policy and industry standards.

Effective immediately, The University of Connecticut Health Center/John Dempsey Hospital is requiring that you provide documentation that you will abide by our standards for environmental health, safety, privacy and quality.

In order to assist our hospital with credentialing all vendor representatives in the most efficient way, we have partnered with Status Blue (www.status-blue.com). Status Blue provides an internet based service that will allow our vendors and hospital departments to navigate our compliance goals in an efficient, easy and comprehensive manner. Please go to www.status-blue.com, register, and begin completing your profile and submitting the required compliance documentation for our review. If you have already registered with Status Blue due to your working relationship with other hospitals, you do not need to register again. However, you do need to log-in to your account and ensure compliance with The University of Connecticut Health Center/John Dempsey Hospital policies, by selecting the respective facility and submitting the appropriate documents.

Prior to December 1, 2008, it is required that all vendors successfully register and complete the vendor approval process on www.status-blue.com. This must be completed before you will be able to enter any of our hospital departments. Failure to do so will result in an automatic revocation of current visitation privileges. Once you have completed your profile and uploaded your compliance documentation, Status Blue will then review your information and ensure the completion of your user profile.

Once you have submitted all of the required credentials and a photo for your badge, you will receive 'approved' vendor status for UCHC. Be sure to call 678-324-4487 or visit www.status-blue.com with any questions. We look forward to continuing to work with you. Please note that all vendors must be part of the Status Blue compliance network.


Thank you for your cooperation and compliance,

Status Blue on behalf of:
