Building a Hospital, Forging Integrity! HeYou Integrity Culture Month in Full Swing

“I hereby pledge to earnestly abide by the ‘Basic Code of Integrity and Self-Discipline for Employees of HeYou International Hospital Project.’ First, uphold the bottom line of interactions, and do not solicit or accept bribes; Second, strictly adhere to the principle of good faith, and do not seek personal gain through improper means...” Accompanied by resounding voices and firm vows, on April 13, HeYou International Hospital’s “Integrity in Hospital Construction · Sunshine HeYou” Warning Education Lecture and Integrity Commitment Signing Ceremony was officially launched through a “Online + Offline” dual-channel model.

At the event, attendees poured seeds into the “Integrity HeYou” tree.

To plant a seed of “integrity” for the hospital, allowing it to take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit, centered on the theme of “Integrity in Hospital Construction · Sunshine HeYou,” starting this month, HeYou International Hospital, through a “Static Display + Dynamic Interaction” model, uses integrity culture exhibitions, warning education lectures, and integrity commitments as entry points to deepen the concept of building the hospital with integrity, create a “No Red Envelope” hospital, ensure commitments are public, known to all, and observed by both medical staff and patients, and achieve a collaborative effort to build an honest medical environment.

Establish Rules, Build Mechanisms, Practice the “24” Articles

On April 13, at the Integrity Commitment Signing Ceremony, the HeYou International Hospital Project released and interpreted the “HeYou International Hospital Project Accountability Management Measures” through an “Offline Lecture + Online Live Broadcast” method, and explained the basic code of integrity and self-discipline to employees and medical staff, emphasizing “No accepting red envelopes, no taking kickbacks, no accepting invitations for meals, strictly abide by HeYou’s ‘24 Articles’ of Integrity.”

Representatives of attendees signed the Integrity Commitment Letter

On November 12, 2021, the National Health Commission, the National Healthcare Security Administration, and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued the “Nine Guidelines for Integrity in the Practice of Medical Institution Staff,” upgrading the medical industry’s “Nine Prohibitions” to “Nine Guidelines.” To better implement the “Nine Guidelines,” the HeYou International Hospital Project proposed an upgraded version—HeYou’s “24 Articles” of Integrity. Combining the hospital’s construction situation, 24 guidelines were established to comprehensively build a mechanism for integrity and self-discipline.

For example, it is strictly prohibited to solicit or accept property from partners or patients; strictly prohibited to accept high-value gifts from partners or patients under the guise of weddings, birthdays, funerals, etc.; strictly prohibited to embezzle, steal, or defraud hospital property; strictly prohibited to use the hospital’s name to swindle others, etc.

The “HeYou International Hospital Project Accountability Management Measures” was released and interpreted via “Online Live Broadcast.”

Integrity in Hospital Construction, Sunshine HeYou. HeYou’s “24 Articles” of Integrity will be made into Integrity Commitment Identity Certificates—“Photo + Commitment + Signature”—and placed in prominent locations such as patient waiting areas, diagnosis and treatment areas, and project construction areas, ensuring immediate accessibility for patients and partner clients.

A relevant person in charge of the HeYou International Hospital Project stated that the series of activities for building the hospital with integrity aims to achieve low internal operational costs and avoid transferring internal costs to society or patients. The concept of building the hospital with integrity will be implemented thoroughly, applied to every stage, every link, and every corner of the hospital, realizing a multi-party joint effort to build a “bridge of integrity” and jointly create a healthy and harmonious medical environment.

Focus on Education, Diligently Warn, Foster a “Clean” Culture

“Pure White Coat, Spotless Integrity,” “Clean Hands, Pure Heart”... Starting this month, a batch of posters, slogans, logos, and short videos representing the integrity image of the HeYou International Hospital Project have been launched. From the hospital’s project construction area and office area to the affiliated Meihe Hospital, this integrity culture system themed “Integrity in Hospital Construction · Sunshine HeYou” will be presented through static displays: placing the “24 Articles,” integrity slogans, and logos in prominent positions; playing integrity-themed comics and short videos in a loop on LED screens in outpatient halls and on scrolling screens in convenience service areas.

Integrity slogans are placed in prominent positions, and integrity-themed posters are played in a loop on LED screens in outpatient halls and on scrolling screens.

The “Static Display” serves both as a firm yet gentle warning and provides a visually pleasing experience, like a gentle breeze, infusing the HeYou International Hospital Project with an aura of “integrity.” At the same time, through the normalization of warning education, the “Dynamic Interaction” model allows the concept of building the hospital with integrity to take root deeply in people’s hearts.

On April 13, the HeYou International Hospital Project simultaneously conducted a warning education lecture “Online + Offline,” inviting Pan Mei, Deputy Director of the Case Review Office of the Foshan Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, to give a warning education lecture titled “Analysis of Typical Corruption Cases in the Medical Field.”

Case after case, admonition after admonition—this “first-hand account” warning education lesson was shocking and thought-provoking. Next, the HeYou International Hospital Project will conduct more targeted and operational warning education lessons in different business departments. At the same time, integrity education has been included as a compulsory course in the pre-job training for new hospital staff, building the first line of defense for integrity and self-discipline from an ideological perspective.

Promote Engineering, Ensure Integrity, Achieve “Dual Synchronization”

With the clarion call for building an “Integrity Hospital,” the clean breeze will sweep through every corner of HeYou International Hospital, achieving the “dual synchronization” of engineering construction and integrity hospital construction.

In the project construction area, staff simultaneously conducted integrity commitment pledges and watched the warning education lecture via online live broadcast.

As a key construction project of Guangdong Province, the HeYou International Hospital Project, founded and funded by Midea Holdings, held its groundbreaking ceremony in November 2020 and is expected to officially commence operations in June 2024. This year, the hospital’s main building is expected to reach its topping-out stage, and construction of the Proton and Heavy Ion Center will also begin. At present, the affiliated Meihe Hospital of the HeYou International Hospital Project is already in operation.

In April, as the Integrity Culture Month of the HeYou International Hospital Project, the hospital strengthened the construction of integrity systems and established reporting channels (email, phone, and WeChat), further clarifying the hospital’s integrity and compliance bottom line, guiding employees at all levels to correctly perform their duties, and creating a cultural atmosphere of honesty, integrity, fairness, and justice.

In the next phase, the HeYou International Hospital Project will actively promote the construction of an integrity hospital. Under the guidance of the municipal and district commissions for discipline inspection and supervision, it will create a “No Red Envelope” hospital. Starting with strengthening education and raising awareness, it will deepen the concept of “Integrity in Hospital Construction, Sunshine HeYou,” adopt multiple measures simultaneously, forge a capable, efficient, and honest medical and health service team, and build a high-level hospital trusted by the people, harmonious, and clean.
