An Experience of

Compassion
Like No Other

The past few years have brought new urgency to supporting the well-being of the healthcare workforce so that they can provide compassionate care to patients and families. We know that health workers are facing ongoing challenges, from staffing shortages to workplace violence to burnout and more.

Built on the Healing Healthcare Initiative Framework, the Conference equips health leaders and workers with the resources and tools to ensure that their organization, colleagues, and patients can thrive.

Conference sessions explore how compassionate care can support goals like workforce well-being, patient experience, safety, quality and innovation through communication, interprofessional teamwork and interpersonal skills. Participants learn to apply those techniques to initiatives and strategies that achieve the quadruple aim of improving patient experience, population health and workforce well-being, while lowering costs.
