FINANCIAL PRE-AUTHORIZATION OF PURCHASES
Purchase requests must be pre-authorized by the appropriate Hospital financial authority, depending on the funding source of the transaction, before being submitted to Purchasing Services.
General Funds
General Funds purchase requests (including gift account funds) should only be submitted with the understanding and approval of the department chairperson.
The department chairperson or Administrator may delegate this authority to other members of the department, although certain substantial or unusual purchase requests will still require the department chair's own signature.
