With the ”New Medicine” that is being shaped by the Affordable Care Act, can we expect a humanistic, safe, accessible and efficient health-care delivery system that provides medical care just as compassionate as it is cutting-edge? There is so much emphasis on costs of health-care services and too little on the quality of the care itself that this is unlikely ... unless health-care professionals ourselves vigorously campaign to make it so.
Professionals must champion the standard that creates the best medicine! But how?
The Arnold P. Gold Foundation is dedicated to fostering optimal health care through the centrality of humanism in medicine. Humanistic medical practices have been demonstrated to reduce errors, improve healing, decrease lawsuits, increase safety, promote patient adherence to treatment plans, and lower costs. In this 2013 Brodie Lecture, Drs. Arnold and Sandra Gold and two physicians-in-training explore how medical students, housestaff, and practicing health professionals can become active, effective, and passionate advocates for humanism in the New Medicine.
Co-presented with the Brodie Medical Education Award Committee, Academy of Distinguished Educators, Department of Medicine, and the Office of Medical Education Research and Instruction
