Vendor Access

A no-charge purchase order (“PO”) is required for all demonstration, evaluation, and loaner equipment. All electronically powered or medical devices must be inspected and accepted by the Clinical Engineering Department prior to use in the medical center, regardless of its use for demonstration or clinical purposes.

No physician or employee shall accept any gift, entertainment, or other favor from any individual, company, or agency that does business or is seeking to do business with BMCHS or is a competitor of BMCHS under circumstances from which it could reasonably inferred that such action was intended to influence or might tend to influence the individual in the performance of his or her duties.

Principles guiding promotions and gifts have been established by our Code of Conduct and our interaction with industry policy.

Physician and employees with questions may contact the Chief Compliance Officer.
