Info

Lockers There are male/female/general staff locker rooms located in the basement. If you wish to have a locker, please contact the Administrative Assistant, extension 5716. The Emergency department has a designated locker room. If you work in the Emergency department you will be assigned a locker on your first day. Outside Electronics (that require electricity) If you wish to bring in an outside electronic that requires being plugged into the building’s electrical system, for example a fan for your office, you must have it approved by your manager and then checked by maintenance staff for compliance with our systems before you use it. Please contact maintenance by inputting a request into ServiceAnyware (please refer to page 25 for instructions on how to use Service Anyware). Parking / Bike Rack Parking is limited at <strong>AMGH</strong>. We have a designated parking area for staff at the south side along Montcalm street, parking spaces along the street and a designated parking lot. We ask our staff to refrain from parking in our main parking lot located at the front of the hospital– particularly areas close to building as well as the street parking on Cambria closest to Emergency entrance during regular business hours - we do our best to keep these parking spots open for our patients and visitors. Our parking lots are well lit at night, but unsupervised. Staff working evenings and nights should park close to the hospital. Parking across from the Emergency entrance is best. A bike rack is located on the south side of the building just beside the south entrance access door.

STARTING YOUR CAREER AT <strong>AMGH</strong> Docushare Non-patient related documentation is managed with software called Docushare. Docushare is web-based software that houses thousands of documents. Docushare is one of the most commonly used document management software programs in the world and is used by many hospitals and School Boards as well as Bruce Power. Docushare helps us with document control and compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. This powerful system has the ability to search through thousands of documents quickly and accurately. The most current and up to date information resides in Docushare. Please refrain from having multiple copies of printed forms or policies as changes can be made in Docushare and you will no longer have the most current version. Please remember that a paper copy is no longer the most current copy. Forms should be printed on an as needed basis, if possible. All employees must be familiar with Docushare and be able to find valuable information. Take time to explore the different collections. Know where to find: Policies and Procedures Emergency Planning Codes MSDS Sheets Committee Minutes Hospital Memos Staff Resources Docushare Training notes are in Docushare under Staff Resources, Computer and Docushare Help. For further Docushare training, please contact Crystal Dalton, Administrative Assistant/Systems Development. You can contact her at Ext 5714 or crystal.dalton@amgh.ca to set up a time that is suitable for you. It is the responsibility of every employee to know where to find information within Docushare. Dress Code It is the policy of this organization to present an image to patients, visitors and the community that is professional and inspires confidence. The overall presentation of staff members is an important contributing factor to this image. Dress, grooming and conduct must be consistent with the work in our professional work environment, health and safety regulations, infection control guidelines and within the standards determined for optimum patient care. This policy also includes situations when employees are attending hospital meetings, in-services and/or training sessions, etc. The safety of our staff is a priority. Therefore, it is imperative that staff follow the footwear guidelines in our Dress Code policy. It is mandatory that footwear have closed toe and heel, no sandals or open-toed shoes. This applies to all staff and all areas of the organization including the community offices. Any exceptions must be discussed and approved by Occupational Health / Infection Control. 39
