Our PCARES Philosophy.

You may have already read about PCARES, our hospital-wide improvement initiative that’s helping us dramatically improve patient experiences and overall efficiency through better communication. PCARES asks us to:

Personalize your care by introducing yourself and your role, and connect with people by calling them their proper name.
Communicate what you are going to do, how long it will take, and how it will impact the patient and family.
Ask permission before entering a room, examining a patient, or undertaking an activity.
Respond to a patient’s questions or requests promptly, and anticipate patient and family needs.
Exit a patient’s room or examination area courteously with an explanation of what will come next.
Sustain these efforts through the Packard Quality Management Program.

"Any middle school teacher will tell you that when you support students through an idea, they will move mountains,” says Hillview Middle School teacher Brian Darmanin. Not only did Hillview students collect over 500 new toys, games and gift cards for our patients, they also managed to fit them all in this car! That's amazing!
