Your comfort and safety is our top priority. We ask that you partner with us in your care by asking questions, letting us know about your condition and how you are feeling and by being aware of safety practices.
It’s OK to ask about hand washing
You can expect each of your caregivers to clean their hands before caring for you. If you do not see this occur, ask and remind your caregiver. Good hand hygiene helps prevent infections. You may wish to remind your family and friends to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer during their visit.
Employee identification
You can identify hospital team members by the badges they wear. Each team member’s name, job title and department are displayed on the badge. Team members can also be identified by the color of their uniforms. These are the uniform colors of some of the staff you may encounter during your stay:
- Nursing – Caribbean blue or white
- Nursing support staff – Taupe
- Cardiopulmonary and Sleep Services – Chocolate
- Radiology – Pewter
- Pharmacy – Techs wear wine; pharmacists wear white lab coats
- Lab – Royal blue, light blue or white lab coats
- Rehab / Therapies – Olive green
- Housekeeping – Navy scrubs or navy pants with light blue shirt
- Nutrition Services – Black and white
We encourage you to seek assistance from the nursing staff with any concerns. Our patient advocates and customer service teams want to know about your Parkview experience. While your nurse or physician is your immediate contact when concerns arise, patient advocates will also listen closely to your concerns, investigate your questions, and respond in a timely manner. Our goal is to provide an excellent experience for every patient, every day.
