The New Associate Training Manual: Patient and Family Experience is a low-cost, high-benefit resource that establishes a patient-centered culture by clearly outlining a unified understanding of the expectations for exceptional patient care, from both a department and system point of view.

Completing this process during orientation sends a deliberate message that service competence is just as important as clinical competence in the successful on-boarding of new associates.
