L032124 Schwartz Rounds: Navigating Compassion in Chaos

March 21, 2024

Our compassion is always tested in healthcare and the emergency department epitomizes this. The ED is an inherently chaotic place, albeit well controlled. Sometimes things can seemingly happen all at once and it can be hard to meet all the needs.  In addition, national staffing shortages have led to increased wait times, which can be frustrating. Waiting with a sick child is a scary thing and unfortunately these frustrations can often become directed at staff. This month, our panel will discuss how they navigate compassion in the chaos of the emergency department.

The Schwartz Rounds program offers healthcare providers regularly scheduled time during their fast-paced work lives to openly and honestly discuss the social and emotional issues they face in caring for patients and families. The focus is on the human dimension of health care.

Following a quick multidisciplinary discussion of a topic or case, audience members have an opportunity to share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings and to support each other in best practices of caring for patients and self-care. Schwartz Rounds will be held virtually on the 3rd Thursday of every month and is open to all employees.
