I want the patients to be comforable and pleased with the transporters escorting them to their appointments in the hospital. When the patients are being escorted to their appointments or discharged, I would love for the patients to say "the patient transportation department is great. I don't really want to spend any money but if I have too, I would like for it to be not costly. I would love for the patients to contiune to choose that hospital and think highly of the transporters and the department. Please help. Thanks

Depending on what type of patients you get, singing, yes i know, but its worked, expecially with the elderely patients, get a little player, and one by one they will join in, it will past the time, before there appointment. Try it!!!!!!!

A warm smile, a great attitude, and neat appearance. Don't ever let them know you are ahving a bed day, make them the number 1 priority at that time. A kind word, a small joke--it's the little things that get noticed. Think about what you would want in a hospital transport, and apply.

Exciting is not what your patients want or need. They need to feel that they will not only get to where they need to go, but that they'll get there in one piece, that what they need at hand won't be forgotten, and that the person assisting them cares for their comfort and safety.
For a patient, anything that will provide comfort and ease of stress in a tense and/or painful situation is a blessing. Don't seek to be remembered, so much as to be one of the parts of the patients' experience that won't need to be remembered with anxiety.

You don't have to spend a dime. A big smile, friendly converstaion, careful delivery, a concern for their welfare if you have to leave them while you go get someone else, checking back with them if you see them in the hall, remembering their names...all of these things bring you personally to them, and make you and their hospital stay memorable.!

I doubt very much that people who are ill want to be wowed by much of anything other than getting well.
Just be polite and get the person where they need to go.
