Ensuring Accurate Hospital Affiliations on PSN

At PSN, transparency and accountability are at the core of our mission to connect hospitals, sponsors, and patients. To maintain the integrity of our platform, we've introduced a streamlined process for associating fundraisers and landing pages with the correct hospital. Here’s how it works and why it matters.


Why Hospital Identifiers Are Important


When fundraisers or landing pages are created, they need to be linked to a specific hospital. This ensures that sponsorships, donations, and other benefits go to the intended recipients. However, relying solely on hospital names can lead to errors, such as:


  • Multiple hospitals with the same name.

  • Accidental or intentional misrepresentation of affiliations.


To prevent these issues, every hospital listed on PSN will now have a unique Hospital ID. This identifier ensures accurate connections between fundraisers, landing pages, and the right hospital.


How the Hospital ID System Works


  1. Assigning Hospital IDsWhen a hospital submits its directory listing on PSN, it will initially show a temporary identifier labeled as “PENDING-id.” Once PSN manually verifies and assigns the unique Hospital ID, this ID will appear in the hospital’s listing on our platform.

  2. Using the Hospital ID

    • When creating a fundraiser or landing page, users will select the hospital as a dropdown option.

    • Both the hospital name and Hospital ID will be displayed in the dropdown, making it easy to verify the correct affiliation.

    • To ensure accuracy, users should always cross-check the hospital’s ID with the listing visible on the PSN directory.

  3. Why Double Verification MattersIncluding both the name and ID in dropdowns minimizes errors, even for hospitals with similar names. By publicly displaying the ID in listings, users can confidently make the right selections, fostering greater trust and transparency.


Protecting the Integrity of Our Platform


The Hospital ID system is part of a broader effort to maintain accountability and ensure that:

  • Hospitals receive the support they deserve. Misrepresentation is minimized, and each sponsorship or donation reaches the right institution.

  • Users act responsibly. Those submitting fundraisers or creating landing pages must ensure their selections are accurate and authorized.

To make this process even easier, we’re preparing a detailed help article and video tutorial to guide you through using the dropdown options and finding the correct Hospital ID. Stay tuned for updates!


By implementing this system, we’re taking another step toward ensuring transparency, accuracy, and trust across the PSN platform. Thank you for partnering with us in advancing healthcare access!
