Tasks, projects, or actions are “reasonably within the scope” of the Employee’s employment or position unless the same are so far removed therefrom that no legitimate argument can be made that such tasks, projects, or actions are in any way related to BMH or the Employee’s employment or position within BMH.

• Act as professionally as should normally be required in a medical organization. This shall include giving all appropriate respect and deference to licensed medical providers and behavioral health providers (hereafter jointly referred to as “Providers”). Providers include, but may not be limited to physician assistants, nurse practitioners (or similar), and Physician Assistants.

• Keep all BMH business and patient information strictly confidential and to adhere to all other BMH confidentiality policies and procedures, as well as all laws affecting confidentiality.

• Work congenially and cooperatively at all times with all other BMH employees. This includes maintaining a pleasant demeanor and attitude and executing position duties and administration’s/management’s other requests in a timely manner, diligently, and with a positive attitude. This requirement further includes refraining from personally degrading any other person or BMH employee. As part of this requirement, the Employee must refrain from engaging in gossip about any BMH employees and/or patients.

• Communicate complaints about BMH, its policies, procedures, managers, administrators, and/or other employees—only to and through the appropriate BMH channels, which are limited to BMH’s management chain of command. No complaints, judgments, or degrading comments about BMH, its policies, procedures, managers, administrators, and/or other employees—should be shared with anyone other than the appropriate persons within BMH’s management chain of command who have the ability to work to remedy any related problems. Unless the Employee’s direct supervisor is part of the problem or complaint—problems and complaints should first be voiced to the Employee’s direct supervisor and upward therefrom through BMH’s internal management chain of command as appropriate and necessary. It is an absolute dereliction of this duty by the Employee if the Employee ever—directly or indirectly (in conjunction or planning with others)—makes complaints or problems publicly known to anyone other than BMH’s management team or administrative team (neither include BMH Board Members).

• If applicable (having access to), check the Employee’s BMH email no less frequently than once daily.
