CICare requires staff to display six key behaviors toward patients: &KULVWLQD0HDFKDP OHIW PHHWVZLWK/XVHDQH ULJKW WRGLVFXVV KHUH[SHULHQFHDW5DYHQVZRRG

1. Connect to patients with compassion by addressing them by their preferred name and title. 2. Introduce self with integrity so patients know who staff members are, and what their role at RFHC is. 3. Communicate clearly so that patients understand the care being provided. 4. Ask patients for their permission or concerns before implementing actions that will affect their health. 5. Respond to patient needs and questions quickly and effectively. 6. “Exit with Excellence” by ensuring all of the patient’s needs are met.

Christina Meacham, RFHC’s Patient Experience Manager, is leading the adoption of CICare at RFHC. “My role is: respond to resolve,” she says.
