Definitions of compassion in healthcare

/in /by

There are varying definitions of compassion in healthcare. As we approach quality management, it is important to evaluate and measure performance in a compassionate manner. Compassion in healthcare is defined as the “sensitivity shown in order to understand another person’s suffering, combined with the willingness to help and to promote the wellbeing of that person, in order to find a solution to their situation” (Perez-Bret, Altisent, & Rocafort , 2016). Reviewing opportunities for improvement in a compassionate manner allows the quality team to better address the gaps in care from a holistic perspective.

1 Peter 3:8 states, “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble” (New International Version, 1973/2011). Using this verse as the cornerstone of quality management improvement allows the quality team to not only be compassionate in their improvement efforts but also to highlight the importance of cultural competence, the ability to identify opportunities through a different lens. God calls us to sympathize with each other, to have compassion one for another, and to empathize in the trials and difficulties that our brothers and sisters in Christ are going through, to be there to help and comfort, to support and encourage.

The need to submit to authority, we all have different roles in reducing patients’ suffering

Question:

What healthcare experience would you change based on the devotional content,  and what is the importance of cultural competency in compassionate care delivery?

Differ with the company’s liability for harassment by supervisors

/in /by

Missy, a waitress, complains to her boss, Stuart, that Simon, a frequent patron of the restaurant, has been engaging in what she considers to be sexually harassing behavior. She details Simon’s activities to Stuart and requests that Stuart take immediate action and that she not be required to wait on Simon in the future. Though Stuart assures Missy that he will look into the matter, he puts off the case for weeks, fearing losing a loyal customer like Simon. When he eventually does get around to dealing with it, he only tells Simon that he should go a little easy on Missy and does nothing about Missy’s request to be relieved of any obligation to wait on Simon. Is the employer in any danger of sexual harassment liability, and what effect, if any, will Stuart’s handling of the situation have? How does employer liability for harassment by a co-worker or third party compare or differ with the company’s liability for harassment by supervisors, managers or other top officials?

McDonald’s  long-term qualitative research project, its nationwide "listening tour," in part as a corporate response to the public outcry that its products contribute to childhood obesity. In this effort, McDonald’s leadership and key decision makers are gathering information firsthand on the company’s products, nutritional messaging, and sustainability initiatives. The listening tour is expected to continue at the regional and local level once the corporate program is completed.

The initiative grew from a question: "How do we get our leaders exposed to some of the conversations that are happen- ing out there, and how do we get those conversations and the people who are having them to have that unique contact with our leaders?" shared Ashlee Yingling, manager of U.S. media relations and listening tour programming at McDonald’s Corp. "The entire premise was based on a two-way dialog," ex- plained Yingling.
