Practicing Mindfulness for Better Patient Experiences

Did you know mindfulness has the potential to prevent compassion fatigue and burnout? Our guest on today’s podcast episode of Healthcare Experience Matters is Kathleen Lynam. Kathleen discusses mindfulness with us and the ongoing, positive impact it can have on the patient experience. Kathleen is an Executive Coach and Senior Advisor with the Healthcare Experience Foundation (HXF).  Mindfulness involves attentiveness, curiosity, and presence and promotes a greater awareness of the self and others. This awareness might help clinicians better attend to the experience of others, and enable them to respond to their patients with more understanding, empathy, and compassion.  Learn more: https://healthcareexperience.org/mindfulness/
