VendorStat uses access levels as a way to setup permissions and identify the areas in a Health System facility that a Vendor Representative can visit. Each facility is broken into areas that each require different precautions to maintain a safe working environment. For example, the lobby of an administrative office building is often a public and not a sterile working environment. But, an operating room or a laboratory each require special consideration for maintaining the proper environment. Each area of a facility requires different controls on the people entering that area and how they enter.
Every Health System has unique needs for their facilities and each system can define the requirements for access differently. These differences appear in VendorStat as different credential requirements for each Health System. However, there are always four access levels available in VendorStat - Non-Clinical, Clinical, and Restricted.
