We are all familiar with the sign at restaurants and grocery stores - "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service."  Well, did you know that UCMC has its own version of the popular sign?  It is "No ID Badge, No Access Code,
No Entry!"

It is important that we all wear our ID Badges and use our own access codes and key cards when entering UCMC buildings and accessing patient care and staff/physicians only areas.

Following these rules reduces the chance of unauthorized individuals accessing restricted areas and protected health information (PHI).  These are additional ways that we all can protect our patients' safety and privacy!  It also protects employee safety.

It is human nature to hold the door open for others entering buildings or restricted areas, but before you do it is important to look and see if they are wearing their UCMC ID Badge.  If you don't see ID Badges then play it safe... let them swipe in or use their own access code/key card to gain entry.

If you see individuals accessing restricted or patient care areas without a UCMC ID Badge or other valid identification (e.g. UCMC contractor badge, supplier sticker, or visitor card), contact UCMC Security Services at (773) 702-6262 for assistance.

Let's continue to create a safe environment for our patients, visitors, and employees.
