The team members of Englewood Community Hospital are committed to exceed the expectations of the people we serve by providing high quality, state of the art health care services in a compassionate, courteous, and friendly manner. We believe the standards of behavior below are reasonable and attainable. We require every member of our team to commit to, and uphold each one.
Attitude: Exhibit behaviors consistent with the “Golden Rule”, treat others, as you would have them treat you. This includes all interactions in the hospital setting. How we interact with co-workers, patients, family members, visitors, and physicians. SMILE, it’s contagious.
Appearance: Maintain a good general appearance; clean appropriate uniform/clothing, neat hair, etc. Appearance includes body language, eye contact, facing the person speaking with you and offering your entire attention to them. Again, SMILE.
Communication: NO Secrets. Always be acutely aware of what you are saying and where you are. This includes the responsibility of correcting improper behavior among our peers, when it happens, in a quiet, respectful and private manner.
Call Lights: It is the responsibility of all staff, including non-clinical staff, to respond to a call bell. To enhance our goal to exceed the customer’s expectations, we must let them know that we ALL truly care about their welfare.
Commitment to Co-workers: We must understand and believe that each and every employee is a valued member of our team, and is to be treated with respect for their contribution to the team. Administration needs and encourages constructive feedback from all staff levels in order to enhance employee satisfaction and maintain longevity of our staff.
Customer Waiting: Sometimes delays are unavoidable. It is the duty of each staff person to empathize with the anxiety of the patient waiting for exam, testing, etc., validate the patient’s feelings and offer whatever is needed to help them feel comfortable. EXPLAIN THE DELAYS. Be Proactive, if you see someone waiting, take the initiative to help BEFORE the patient becomes upset or angry.
Etiquette: Remember the “Golden Rule”; Offer a friendly greeting and a smile to each person you come in contact with. “Good morning” is painless and usually elicits a good response. Offer to take customers to their destinations, never just point to the direction, always be aware of how your behavior is perceived, and SMILE.
Privacy: It is the responsibility of every staff person to guard both the physical privacy and the privacy of their medical information. This includes an acute awareness of what you talk about in hallways and break areas. This responsibility extends to the behaviors of others talking about a patient’s condition; quietly ask them to refrain from such behavior.
Safety Awareness: See a potential problem? Take ownership and find out what it takes to get it fixed. Being proactive may prevent an injury later. We are each responsible for the safety of our coworkers, ourselves, and our patients and visitors.
Sense of Ownership: Englewood Community Hospital is proud you have chosen us as your employer; as an employee you should be proud to work here. Therefore, it is expected of each of us to take pride in our hospital, just as you would our own home. We are all expected to be ambassadors of the hospital in our actions and word. It is also expected of each of us to discourage any employees from negative conversations in areas where it can be overheard. Constructive feedback is encouraged, complaining criticism is not. If you sense a problem, ask what YOU can do to make it better.
