Hospital to Extend Badge Payment Option to Outside Dining Providers

Philadelphia’s Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals is rolling out a program that will allow its staff to use their ID badges to make purchases from foodservice providers in the area around the hospital. The goal of the program is to extend dining options to staffers and students working at the hospital beyond what is available from the onsite dining facilities. The hospital is using CBORD’s Off-Campus Commerce Program, a utility originally designed to be used by colleges to extend meal service payment to off-campus providers. TJUH will be the first healthcare provider using the program.
