computer issues?
Will patients return to the hospital if it seems unclean?
How valuable is good nutrition to healing?

person I am talking with?
14. When walking down the hall
The 10/5 Rule is a visual manifestation of the organization’s
commitment to excellent service by everyone.
? At 10 feet
? Make eye contact, SMILE and/or nod to
those you encounter
? At 5 feet
? Deliver a verbal “Hello”
? Is this an opportunity? Does something look
wrong? Do they look lost? Can I see a gap?
? NO. Move on
? YES. Approach the customer; introduce
yourself and ask how you can help.
15. Samples
External customer:
“Hello. I’m Cindy, one of the employees at (facility).
You look a little lost. Can I help you find
something?”
Internal customer:
“Hello. I’m Cindy from Accounting. You look upset.
Can I help you with something?”
16. Smile – it can be seen and heard!
Pitch – vary the pitch of your voice and avoid dull
monotones
Volume – speak loud and clearly to indicate confidence
and commitment to the patient
Emphasis – emphasize certain words during the

17. When greeting someone in person,

“Good (Morning ). How may I help you?”

part of introduction
Brief interactions:
Listen to need. Provide assistance.
After a more prolonged interaction, ask the customer
the following:
? “Is there anything else I can do for you today? Okay, my
name is Sarah. If you have more questions, just ask for me,
but any of our employees will be happy to help you!”
18. When answering the phone, always say:
“Thank you for calling (Your Department). This is
__________. How may I help you?”
