For our fifth article in the Living Our Values series, we are going to focus on the Providence value of Integrity.
“Let us love not merely with words or speech but with actions in truth. – 1 John 3:18
We hold ourselves accountable to do the right things for the right reasons. We speak the truth with courage and respect. We pursue authenticity with humility and simplicity.
The dominant purple, plus red and orange, represent wisdom, dignity, and nobility, suggesting that we are wise and noble when we show integrity. The illustration is of the plane tree, which symbolizes love and good character.
The following are some of the ways in which our IS & RESO caregivers exhibit integrity:
- From Greg Johnson, sr. clinical informatics specialist on the Clinical Informatics team: “Lori Becker has many years of experience where several of these we have shared together. She is very passionate about supporting the providers and ease their way. They are very lucky to have such strong support who put the bedside caregiver first.”
- Also from Greg: “Every member of our team is an integral part of something much bigger. The support I see among our team members with each other is incredible. I am so lucky and proud to be part of such an amazing group of people. I will really miss working together with this team.”
- From Kim Toler, director system clinical informatics, about the Home Health and Hospice Teams: “Highly productive in managing time and adjusting to meet high priority needs.”
- From Shubham, Shrivastava, software engineer 2 on the Admin Technology team: “Integrity is a direct product of a person’s personal values. When a person claims to have integrity, they claim to have upstanding moral values, in my team I have seen people who expressed enthusiasm and honesty as their personal values then they would display integrity which would set them up to be good colleagues to work with and good leaders. Integrity is not only important for the leader but also for the group of people they are leading.”
- From Melanie Hamilton, logistics administrator in the CI/ISSP pillar: “Melody Kiser lives the value of Integrity. She holds herself to a high standard and that is reflected in the quality of her teaching and communication with CT sites.”
- From Eugene Han, director engineering program management on the Admin Technology team: “Brian Pippen, app analyst on the team is an unsung hero. The day after Thanksgiving, he worked on two separate service tickets reported in by nurses. Both had to do with our safety systems that protect newborn babies. In one case, a vendor never finished their job or just didn’t check their work. In the other case, somebody inadvertently cut through wires that left the system nonfunctional. Either case would’ve made me incredibly frustrated. Brian was great at guiding our vendors towards customer success. He’s a steady hand at the wheel and steers people to deliver to a higher standard.”
- From Sharmila Banu Bahadursha, principal program manager on the Admin Technology team: “Ed I’Anson is my peer with whom I work for Physical security and Risk business area. He makes sure he gives me context, keeps me and another peer up to date with the project, He all the time represent it as “WE” (the team). In every call we get into, he explains the meeting objective to business and says, We, “the team” will be working on it. I never hear him saying “I.” He makes sure it is not very late hours for me when he sets up meetings, if any meetings are there during noon hours of PST he tries to record the meeting for me, if any ad hoc meetings happen, he set up time followed by the meeting and walk me through the meeting notes. All the time he has made me feel we are 1 team, working from different locations/time zones. He listens to our views, allows me to own and drive the things, and suggests different ways to do something where applicable.”
