We will put patients and service users first
Patients, service users, and carers are our first priority, and their needs will guide our decisions. In all our actions, our primary focus will be to improve patient care.
We are all accountable for the success of encompass
We are committed to one another’s success. All staff are accountable and responsible for driving encompass’ success. We encourage input, feedback, and participation from every member of our Health and Social Care community.
We will work together to standardise
Standardisation impacts the care we deliver. It increases efficiency, quality, and safety. We will provide high quality, coordinated care, no matter where patients or service users receive care.
We will adopt the model system
We will rely on the expertise of Epic and peer institutions that have gone before us, learning from their experiences and implemented global best practices. We will innovate where necessary, but our intention is to act in the best interests of the system as a whole.
Seamless Health and Social Care is a top priority
We will rely on the expertise of Epic and similar organisations that have gone before us, learning from their experiences, and implementing global best practices.
