Medical Play as Infrastructure in Care

from Care Rewritten | Ending the Trauma of Care Together · host Mary Jenner

What if rushing through procedures to "save time” actually created the resistance and trauma we are trying to avoid?  Slowing down to integrate medical play isn't an indulgence… it’s evidence-based infrastructure. New data from a multi-hospital study reveals the impact that just one interaction can have on patient anxiety and cooperation. When we move play out of the "optional" category and into the system itself, we reduce the need for sedation, lower procedural time, and transform parents from helpless observers into powerful partners in care. Press play to see how shifting your unit’s "emotional temperature" through play is the ultimate efficiency strategy. P.S. Want to see the data for yourself?
