Overview

Supply Chain provides direct access to Cardinal Healthcare Corporation's web site both for general information and for ordering specific items. 

If you have an Cardinal login ID and password,  the system connects you directly to your personal Cardinal page and logs you in. Instructions below explain the setup steps. If you do not have a Cardinal login and password, the system connects you to the Cardinal public website home page.

If a vendor is a Cardinal vendor, you can view the Cardinal catalog information for an item from within the system. The vendor must be designated as the primary supplier of the item, and specifically marked as a Cardinal vendor. Instructions on how to make these settings are below.

To set up automatic log in to Cardinal:

  1. Establish a login ID, password, and hospital account number with Cardinal.  

Important: Your Cardinal login ID and password must be identical to your  Supply Chain login ID and password. Inform Cardinal that you are a   Supply Chain user when you register for login credentials.

  1. When Cardinal assigns you a hospital account number, record the number in the table for your organization.

  2. Locate the item that you wish to view. The Vendor Item Number is underlined to show that it is a link to Cardinal (Figure 2, circled in blue). If the Vendor Item Number is not underlined, it does not link you to Cardinal.
