I CARE TGMC Standards of Behavior


Respect Treat every individual as a person of


worth, dignity, and importance. n Show compassion and understanding, and be non-judgmental in meeting the needs of our customers, giving them confidence in our ability to care for them.


n Give undivided attention when being addressed by a customer and give the best response possible when being asked a question.


n Remember the patient is not an interruption of my work. Tey are my reason for being here.


n Honor everyone by giving them special attention and care in order to gain their trust.


n Maintain a clean, neat, and organized work environment.


n Recognize time is valuable and strive to provide prompt service - apologize for delays.


Etiquette Convey concern and willingness to serve others by use of good manners


and kind expressions. n Be aware of others in hallways and at the bedside by not allowing my phone to interfere.


n Answer the phone with a greeting and identify myself, my role, and my department using a tone of voice that is alert, expressive, pleasant and distinct.


n Knock, introduce myself, state my purpose and ask permission to enter my patient’s room.


n Address others respectfully, avoiding phrases like ok, yeah, hold on, honey, sugar, pawpaw/mawmaw when speaking with customers.


n Be considerate to customers by giving them priority in hallways and elevators.


n When someone appears in need of directions, escort him or her to his or her destination.


n Tank patients for allowing us to care for them.


Hold one another accountable to these professional behavior standards.
