You MAY NOT wear jeans, shorts, sweatshirts/pants, clothing with holes, or any clothing that is inappropriate in a professional work environment.

SHADOW DAY SUGGESTIONS

Parkview Mission, Vision, & Values MISSION

Parkview Health will improve the health and well-being of our communities.

VISION

Parkview Health will be your partner in health.

VALUES

Trust - We have mutual respect and confidence in others.

Quality - We put trusted care into action through technology, education, and best practices in medicine.

Flexibility - We accept change in innovative and proactive ways.

Teamwork - Working together, we actively and respectfully listen to each other’s’ ideas. We communicate openly, honestly, and constructively.

Stewardship - We manage the care of our patients as if they were members of our family and we manage financial and material resources as if they were our own.

Confidentiality - What does it mean? Confidentiality means “keeping information private.” In a hospital or healthcare setting, all patient

information is considered confidential. We follow HIPAA guidelines. Any information about patients that is

spoken, on paper, or on computer is to be kept private. You cannot tell your family, friends, or anyone else

(who is not taking care of the patient) about this information.

Examples of confidential information include:

- Name

- Address

- Age

- Social Security Number

- Whether Someone is in The Hospital

- Diagnosis or The Reason Why Someone is in The Hospital

- Treatments and Medications

- Past Health Conditions

If you share any of these types of information with people who do not need to know, you have broken confidentiality and you have broken the law! This can lead to fines and potential jail time.

In addition to patient information, confidentiality must also include privacy of:

- Business-Related Information

- Fellow Employee Personal and Employment Information

Please agree to keep patient information confidential and remember… “A slip of the lip-pa violates HIPAA.”

Preventing the Spread of Infection STANDARD AND TRANSMISSION-BASED PRECAUTIONS

Infection is caused by germs. An infected person carries germs that he or she can spread to others. Even a person who doesn’t feel sick can still carry and spread germs. Many germs can travel on hands or other things that are touched. Some germs can travel a short distance on droplets when a person talks or coughs.

STANDARD PRECAUTIONS These are practices that all health care workers must follow in the care of ALL patients. They apply to (1) blood, (2) all body fluids, secretions or excretions, (3) non-intact- skin, (4) mucous membranes. They do not apply to sweat.

GLOVES: Are to be worn when the staff member may have hand contact with blood or body fluids, mucous membranes or non-intact skin of ALL patients and when handling contaminated items or surfaces. MASK, EYE PROTECTION, FACE SHIELD: Wear during patient activities that are likely to generate aerosols, splashes, sprays, etc., such as suctioning or intubating. GOWNS: Wear a gown if splashing of blood or body fluids is likely. SHARPS: Never recap, bend or break needles. Place used disposable needles and sharps in a puncture-resistant container at the point of use. EQUIPMENT: Clean equipment with the hospital approved disinfectant. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL: Routinely clean and disinfect environment surfaces

such as side rails, over-bed tables, bedside tables and frequently touched surfaces. LINENS: All used linen is considered contaminated. Bag in the standard linen bag at the site. No other precautions are needed.

HAND HYGIENE Wash and sanitize hands after touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and contaminated items, whether or not gloves are worn. Wash and sanitize hands immediately after gloves are removed, between patient contacts, and when otherwise indicated to avoid transfer of microorganisms to other patients or environments. It may be necessary to wash and sanitize hands between tasks and procedures on the same patient to prevent cross-contamination of different body sites. Wash hands with an antimicrobial soap and water whenever hands are visibly soiled. An

alcohol-based waterless skin sanitizer is recommended when hands are not visibly soiled.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Follow all instructions when you visit.

- Wash your hands before and after touching the patient, using the bathroom, when you cough or sneeze into your hands or a tissue, and when you leave the patient room.

- Keep your hands away from your face.

WHAT YOU CANNOT DO

- Visit ANY patient if you feel sick or have been exposed to an illness.

- Use the patient’s bathroom.

- Enter rooms with the following signs posted on the doors:

HOW CAN YOU PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INFECTION?

Practicing protective measures such as Standard Precautions, and Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) will reduce your risk of being exposed to blood borne pathogens.
