  10. Service Excellence… Our Responsibility. Our Commitment. Children’s Hospital

  11. People don’t carehow much we knowuntil they know how much we care.

  12. Service Excellence VisionTo be the kind of organization wherechildren and familieswant to come for care,physicians want to practice,andemployees want to work.

  13. Service Excellence…Our Responsibility. Our Commitment.Statement of PurposeWe strive to give extraordinary care and service to our patients, their families, members of the Children’s Hospital family, and the communities we serve.

  14. Our Philosophy of Service Excellence*We take pride in our professions and feel personal ownership and responsibility for achieving Children’s Hospital mission.*We seek opportunities to be friendly and to help patients, families, and coworkers.*We are always courteous and respectful.*We show care and compassion by acknowledging people’s feelings.*We demonstrate respect for privacy and confidentiality in all we do.*We never tire of explaining what to expect, what we are doing, and why.*We try to understand how our work affects others and look for ways to help each other.*We respect diversity among our patients, families, co-workers and community.

  15. SHARE: Service Excellence in Action • S SENSE people’s needs before they ask. • H HELP each other our through teamwork. • A ACT with empathy and compassion. • R RESPECT the dignity and privacy of others. • E EXPLAIN what is happening.

  16. Customer Satisfaction: A fool’s gold?What is fool’s gold? Something that looks more valuable than it really is. Let’s compare the difference between customer “satisfaction” and “loyalty.”The customer satisfaction formula:Doing it right the first time+effective complaint handlingThe customer loyalty formula:Doing more than is expected+Doing more than the situation warrants

  17. Does customer satisfaction = customer loyalty?On a five-point scale, people who mark a 4 (satisfied), compared to those who mark a 5 (very satisfied) are 5 times more likely to defect to the competition.Satisfaction is based much on convenience, while loyal customers will often drive longer to seek out your services because of the way they are treated and the service they receive. Loyal customers will tell others about how good you are---they have a story to tell.What separates the excellent from the best?Nothing---They do the same things especially more consistently and under pressure over time.

  18. The secret of excellence is consistency and the enemy of excellence is too much variation.Organizations with a reputation for world-class service simply know how to attract and keep individuals who will deliver the same courteous, compassionate care, day in and day out, regardless of the circumstances.

  19. ATTITUDE: The one thing I have control over • An attitude is my frame of mind when I approach a situation. I choose my attitude in every situation. • Stimulus--------*Interpretation----------Response *All emotional growth in life occurs in the interpretation phase. Learn to ask: What would cause me to act like that? Asking this simple question when we are faced with difficult people can help us maintain tolerance and even compassion for our patients, families, and co-workers.

  20. Non-Verbal Communication • 93% of what we communicate in attitude is non-verbal. • 7% In words • 38% By tone of voice • 55% By body language • And it’s done in the first few seconds. Even in job interviews by a professional, the decision is essentially made in 20 seconds!

  21. Never get tired of explaining! • 75% of all medical malpractice lawsuits could have been prevented by explaining things better. • One of the most common complaints patients and their families have is that things were not better explained. • The highest ranked quality desired in choosing a doctor is the doctor’s willingness to listen and explain in words I can understand.

  22. AttitudeThe longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.Charles Swindoll
