The ABCDs of Dignity in Care<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The ABCDs are a guide for putting the principles of Dignity in Care into action. The framework was developed for everyone who has contact with patients on the job, and who therefore has the opportunity to support the dignity of people who seek help from the health care system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABCDs examine how attitudes may affect actions, and how people can take conscious steps to adjust those attitudes and behaviours. They follow the familiar A-B-C pattern that many disciplines use as the foundation for basic learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as all ER staff know the ABCs of emergency response (Airway, Breathing, Circulation), everyone working in health care can remember the ABCDs of Dignity in Care:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
