The Providence Mission endorses the following values: excellence, respect, justice, compassion and stewardship. In addition to providing the highest standard of technical care to its patients, it is the policy of this medical center that all individuals within its facilities be treated courteously, respectfully and with dignity. To that end, the Board of Trustees requires that all individuals, employees, physicians and other independent practitioners conduct themselves in a professional and cooperative manner.
Unacceptable conduct may include, but is not limited to, behavior such as:
Attacks (verbal or physical) leveled at other appointees to the Medical Staff, Hospital personnel or patients that are personal, irrelevant or go beyond the bounds of fair professional conduct.
Non-constructive criticism addressed to its recipient in such a way as to intimidate, undermine confidence, belittle or imply stupidity or incompetence.
Impertinent and inappropriate comments (or illustrations) made in patient medical records or other official documents, impugning the quality of care in the Hospital, or attacking particular physicians, employees or Hospital policies.
Refusal to accept medical staff assignments, or doing so in a disruptive manner.
Remarks or behavior of a sexually suggestive or harassing nature. What may seem innocent or humorous to one person can be offensive to another.
Possession, consumption, sale or being under the influence of alcohol, or an illegal or controlled substance on the premises (except the use of prescribed medications) is prohibited.
Willful abuse of prescribed medications in a way that affects performance will also not be tolerated.
Failure to report health problems that may affect performance, as required by the Credentialing standards.
Noncompliance with the other rules and regulations of the Medical staff; i.e., responding in a timely manner to pages, using legible handwriting, participating in Committees, etc.
I have read and agreed to abide by the above noted standards.
