Hospital system vs facility
State whether the request concerns a hospital system or an individual facility. Keep the entity name and facility relationship separate so a match at one level is not assumed to apply to the other.

Define the hospital audience first
Role scope
Describe the responsibility you need to review, such as administration, purchasing or technology. Specify whether that responsibility should sit at system or facility level.
Excluded organizations
Name the care settings outside the brief. For example, distinguish a hospital request from independent physician practices, suppliers or other organizations with a healthcare connection.
Record the criteria and the evidence to request
These are requirements for discussion. Each criterion remains unconfirmed until its supporting evidence has been reviewed.
Entity and relationship
- Requested definition
- A named system or individual hospital facility
- Evidence to request
- Organization identity and the relationship between the system and facility
Care setting
- Requested definition
- The hospital setting to include, with adjacent settings excluded
- Evidence to request
- Information supporting the organization’s classification under your definition
Contact responsibility
- Requested definition
- A person’s function at the selected organization level
- Evidence to request
- The role and its relationship to the hospital entity; keep unknown responsibilities visible
Geographic boundary
- Requested definition
- Facility location, system location or the person’s workplace
- Evidence to request
- Location information that matches the chosen boundary rather than a different entity’s address
A hospital match does not establish a person’s role
Keep organization identity, contact responsibility and the relationship between them as separate review questions.
A hypothetical scope decision
A hospital facility falls inside the requested region. A person has a purchasing title, but their responsibility for that facility is unknown. The facility-location criterion does not resolve the person’s role or relationship; leave both questions open for review.

Choose the entity level
Write down the hospital system or facility definition and the care settings it includes.
Describe the requested responsibility
Identify the function, organization level and geographic boundary. List the evidence needed to resolve unclear relationships.
Keep exclusions and open questions together
Separate physician practices and other excluded organizations from the hospital brief. Bring unconfirmed criteria to the discussion.
Hospital email list questions
How is a hospital email list request different from a physician practice request?
Start with the organization boundary. A hospital system, a specific hospital facility and an independent physician practice are separate audience definitions. State which settings belong in the request and which should be excluded.
Should the request name a hospital system or an individual facility?
Specify the level that matters to your brief. If you need a facility-level audience, ask for evidence connecting the facility to the named system rather than treating a system name as a facility match.
What does a requested contact responsibility establish?
It describes the function you want to review. A title alone does not establish the person’s responsibility at a particular facility or system; record the relationship and the evidence needed separately.
Does this page confirm current hospital records?
No. The criteria on this page describe a request. They do not confirm current records, contact details or any particular organization-to-person relationship.
