Safe:
Were my actions safe - for me, for my colleagues, for other professionals and for the public?
Team-based Were my actions taken with due regard for the opinions and feelings of my co-workers including those from other agencies?
Attentive to Human Needs:
Did I treat my patient as a person? Did I keep h/her warm? Was I gentle? Did I use h/her name throughout the call? Did I tell h/her what to expect in advance? Did I treat h/her family and/or relatives with similar respect?
Respectful:
Did I act toward my patient, my colleagues, my first-responders, the hospital staff and the public with the kind of respect that I would have wanted to receive myself?
Customer Accountable:
If I were face to face right now with the customers I dealt with on this response, could I look them in the eye and say "I did my very best for you."
Appropriate:
Was my care appropriate medically, professionally, legally and practically, considering the circumstances I faced?
Reasonable:
Did my actions make sense? Would a reasonable colleague of my experience have acted similarly, under the same circumstances?
Ethical:
Were my actions fair and honest in every way? Are my answers to these questions?
