Vision
The vision of HA begins by committing the staff to the health of the community, thus helping its members to avoid the need to spend time in the hospitals whenever possible. HA seeks to achieve this firstly by providing high-quality services that aim to cure the clients, so that they will not have to be readmitted, and secondly by enabling the out-patients to enjoy the best-possible health and quality of life outside the walls of the hospitals.
Staff in HA are the key factor in the delivery of the services provided by HA. HA therefore needs to ensure its staff feel happy and motivated in work by treating them fairly, not overburdening them, and helping them to maintain a good work-life balance.
Trust is a precious commodity that must be earned. To gain and keep the community's trust, HA endeavours to respond to its concerns and to any health-related crises that arises in a swift, effective and professional way. HA also recognizes that honesty is a fundamental element of trust, so staff in HA make every effort to be honest, open and accountable - not just to the patients and community but also to the colleagues, including students.
Mission
Helping People Stay Healthy
HA appreciates that patients are usually the "leading actors" in HA staff’s work, and that healthcare professionals merely play supporting roles. Sometimes it is HA staff’s job to give them life-saving treatment, but more often than not HA staffs are simply partners who empower them to regain their health and stay healthy by offering them support in the forms of diagnosis, medication, exercises, information, encouragement and motivation.
Value
People-centered Care
This concept extends beyond providing patients with the best-possible services, although that is always HA's top priority. It also acknowledges the importance of having a caring heart, even when HA staff are busy or a patient is demanding, as well as good two-way communication, which is indispensable for understanding and meeting a patient's needs.
Professional Service
HA defines professionalism as to increase one's knowledge continuously by staying abreast of the latest developments in one's profession, taking action to improve one’s skills, accepting responsibility for the things one does, and having the courage to learn from one's mistakes. This is what HA aspires to members of HA’s work, both as an organization and as individuals working in it.
Committed Staff
HA staffs strive to work wholeheartedly, think positively, and take the initiative to go the extra mile in order to serve our patients better.
Teamwork
Teamwork means to join hands and work together to achieve the best outcomes. To do this, HA staff must foster positive relationships, and adopt a spirit of openness, mutual respect, and acceptance of different ideas. These factors will allow each of the HA team members to make his or her unique contribution to a collective success.
The vision, mission and values serve to guide the planning, development and delivery of services provided by HA, including nursing education. HA also regards it as a ‘people-first’ organization. HA refers ‘people’ as clients and their families, staff members (including nursing students), and other stakeholders in the community, as the focus of HA’s work, and members of HA always strive to treat these people fairly, with respect and as equally.
