GHX CEO Bruce Johnson introduces a new five-part video series in which he will share insights and observations crowdsourced from one of the largest healthcare communities in the industry. Tune in to celebrate healthcare community triumphs and learn how you can strengthen the healthcare supply chain and minimize financial risk during times of crisis.
Episode 5: Building a Stronger, More Resilient Healthcare Supply Chain
In the final video in the series, Bruce reflects on the impact COVID-19 has had on the healthcare industry, discusses areas that are ripe for evolution and offers suggested next steps.
To the members of the GHX community who are working tirelessly to fight COVID-19:
This is a time of great uncertainty for us all. But we recognize there is even greater pressure on our healthcare providers and suppliers to have answers.
Patients are looking to caregivers to allay the fear their symptoms might be the coronavirus, for definitive diagnosis and a treatment path and how long it will take to fully recover. In turn, providers are looking to manufacturers who can reliably supply the critical medical equipment they desperately need – in the required quantity, in the shortest timeframe possible.
This dynamic ignited GHX to action. We created the COVID-19 Information Center to deliver the insights, data and tools to help our community tackle the pressing challenges of securing supplies, identifying clinically comparable product alternatives and setting up overflow care facilities. Our goal is to empower you to respond to the call for answers.
When GHX was founded 20 years ago there wasn’t a road map, but over time we collectively built an amazing community. This unprecedented time calls on us to re-imagine what healthcare's 'new normal' looks like and we will build a stronger future together.

Vendormate contactless temperature checkpoint feature now available
A Message to Our Community
Vendormate contactless temperature checkpoint feature now available
date: Wednesday, December 2, 2020
GHX Vendormate has released a new product feature to assist healthcare facilities with screening vendors representatives’ temperature. This new feature allows your team to intervene in the badging process before reps enter your facility to help protect staff and patients. To remain compliant with new safety protocols, providers must have the ability to screen everyone coming into the hospital and document negative test results before they enter your facility.
How it works
Integrate badging with your temperature checkpoint process using a contactless feature in the Vendormate mobile app.
Use the Vendormate mobile app to scan a rep’s QR code (or enter a 4-digit PIN), verify their identity and press either Pass or Fail after evaluating the rep’s temperature.
A rep receiving a Pass will be able to continue with their badging journey.
A rep receiving a Fail, or bypassing the checkpoint completely, will not be allowed to print a badge at the badging station or generate a digital badge.
These transactions are automatically recorded in the Badging History section of the Vendormate app for easy access to information.
To implement this feature, reach out to your Credentialing Delivery Manager or visit GHX.com > Contact Us.
