Patients consider compassion essential to safe and quality care. Health care providers want to provide compassionate care. Frequently, the terms sympathy, empathy and compassion are used interchangeably and conflated, and current evidence suggests a challenge to delivering compassion. This webinar will share patient and health care provider perspectives and experiences of compassion and will discuss how these findings generated an empirical model depicting the key domains and flow of compassion.
By participating in this webinar, you will:
- Learn how patients define compassion
- Become familiar with the relationship between sympathy, empathy and compassion
- Recognize the challenges and facilitators to providing compassion
When: Monday, November 6, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Pacific Time
