Visitor ID Badge
Cleveland Clinic has a Visitor Photo Badging System in its regional hospitals. Adult visitors need to show a valid photo ID to enter the hospital after normal visiting hours. Upon entering the Emergency Department entrance, visitors are given a badge that shows their name and photo, room destination and expiration date (extended badges are available). It must be worn on the outermost clothing.
Visitors who are unable to provide ID will not be denied entrance once the visit is confirmed, but they will be photographed.
A permanent visitor badge system was started to assure the safety and security of our patients, visitors, staff and physicians. The badge includes the visitor’s photo and in bold capital letters identifies the person as a VISITOR, VENDOR or OFFICIAL (with an oversight or regulatory agency). The badge includes the issue date, visitor name and hospital department they are visiting.
Visitors in the hospital from 8 p.m. - 6 a.m. seven days a week must obtain a badge from the ParkView Information/Security Desk. Individuals in the hospital prior to 8 p.m., but staying for the evening or overnight are asked to go to the information desk to pick up a badge. Visitors accompanying Emergency Department patients will be issued a temporary badge. Visitor badges may be obtained at any time and extended badges are available.

Ombudsman
Phone: 216.476.4424 or ext 24424 from a hospital phone.
The Ombudsman is the liaison between Fairview Hospital and the patient in resolving problems that may arise during the course of treatment. We recommend that patients first attempt to address their concerns with the department in which the problem occurred. If you do not reach a resolution with the person providing your care, we encourage you to contact the department manager or supervisor. If these attempts are unsatisfactory, call our Ombudsman Office from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, or you can leave a message anytime. Presenting a complaint does not in itself compromise a patient’s future access to care.
