Badging

BCH Oakland policy requires that all staff and visitors wear a BCH Oakland ID badge when on premises. This includes all faculty, staff, trainees, observers, and visitors. The BCH Oakland Badge is separate from the UCSF badge. 

Visitors may obtain a badge from the Security Desks located in the hospital and OPC II. 

All other badges must be initiated by the individual's home department through BCH Oakland's instance of Service Now. Both initial requests and additional access need to be requested through the Service Now portal, as applicable.
