2024 Department of Medicine Grand Rounds | The Science of Compassion

Duarte, CA US
April 10, 2024

Research has shown that there is a science behind compassion in healthcare, which can make a meaningful difference for patients, not only in the patient experience, but also in patient outcomes.  Unfortunately, there exists a lack of compassion in healthcare, and as a result, many missed opportunities to provide a better experience to patients already in need. Healthcare provider burnout, is also linked to a lack of compassion, which then creates a vicious cycle. 
 
There is a is a need to bring attention to and address the lack of compassion in healthcare. It is even more important to bring awareness and provide the necessary tools to implement the science of compassion in every day patient care, as compassion affects many aspects of healthcare.
