Code of EthicsEmployees

Aside from abiding by all applicable laws, Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has now

developed a code of ethics that every employee is expected to follow. In addition, if there are

ever any questions about a rule, ethical standard, or especially if there is an ethical situation that

you are dealing with and need help know what to do, employees should know and feel

comfortable to approach the ethics committee manager and ask any questions that they feel will

help out said situation.

Vision and Values

Here at Patton-Fuller Community Hospital we must dedicate and provide 24 hours a day,

7 days a week, and 365 days a year of care to the community of Patton-Fuller. Our indefinite

goal is to provide the very best care possible, specifically tailored to each patient’s needs, and at

a lower price than the big name hospitals. We will treat our patients and employees with the

utmost respect and gratitude for have picked us.

Code of conduct

This is how we will reinforce our code of ethics. If patient care quality is ever

jeopardized in any way, it will be documented and sent for review by the department manager as

long as the issue is not too severe; in that case it will be sent directly to the Hospital

Administrator for review. Depending on the infraction and its severity, there is a verbal warning,

then a written warning, a written notice of infraction, and finally, if these are all the same

problem happening over again, a third written notice of infraction is issued, which might result in

termination and removal from the facility. These steps go for all rules and ethical codes that

might be broken or ignored.
