Our #SweetSophia left this earth last night as she spent every day of her life, surrounded by love & adoration.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate to https://t.co/EmzKKAEEc3
Once we pull ourselves from this shattering pain we will continue to help others in her memory
Denmark reduced the number of its hospitals from 98 to 32 in favour of community based care solutions. In Australia we are building more. Have we got the formula wrong? #Patientpreferences@AustFinReview#AFRHealthcare2019
I used to wear heels when seeing pts w mult sclerosis. one day it just felt wrong to be wearing heels when my patients can’t walk. Haven’t worn a heel in clinic since. Sometimes #empathy means changing your shoes altogether. #hcldr#ptexp#pesummit@ClevelandClinic
When you care for others, you manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties you face. Your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. Reaching beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.
Listening to a patient tell their story of harm may be uncomfortable, and it can spur health care professionals to improve #ptsafety in a way that data can't. https://t.co/b0LvGidNaw
Yes! At Irwin Press gets right to point. “100s of moments = experience, surveys don’t help you address what actually happened. Comments make sense of data & reveal the underlying ideas” I believe these stories are real window into #ptexp. We must (& have been asked to) listen.
Dear hospitals:
No matter how much you invest in your main lobby & reception, your natural gardens, facades, cascading waterfalls & fountains, this 👇👇 is the reality of what patients see.
Do you really understand the #PtExp?
