Compassionomics, Dr. Stephen Trzeciak and Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli make the case that there currently is a \u201ccompassion crisis\u201d in healthcare today.\u00a0 As shown in one study from Harvard Medical School that was published in Health Affairs, researchers surveyed 1,300 patients and physicians and asked the question \u201cIs the U.S. health system compassionate?\u201d<sup>1<\/sup> The result from the patient side was that nearly half of the respondents in the study shared the view that both the health care system and the providers are not compassionate.\u00a0 These findings are corroborated in other studies.<\/p>\n<p>Compassion, as defined in the book, is \u201cthe emotional response to another\u2019s pain or suffering, involving an authentic desire to help\u201d.\u00a0 Over the years, the standard approach to increase compassion has been to appeal on an emotional and moral ground.\u00a0 Although there are a lot of books and articles using this approach to increase compassion, Dr. Trzeciak has found that it has not made traction or \u201cmoved the needle\u201d.\u00a0 Why has compassion not moved based on this appeal?\u00a0 Also, does compassion even matter?<\/p>\n<p>Both Dr. Trzeciak and Dr. Mazzarelli both feel that over 99% of the healthcare providers have their hearts in the right place.\u00a0 A person goes into this field to impact the lives of others so the heart is already there.\u00a0 As such, the plan is now to take a different approach.\u00a0 Instead of attempting to change the hearts, it will be about changing the minds of those in healthcare.\u00a0 However, in order to see if compassion really does matter, one needs to have the data to back it up.\u00a0 The concept had to be approached like any other research question.\u00a0 Start with a hypothesis and then test it based on solid science to receive an answer.\u00a0 This also means going into the research with the possibility that compassion does not matter.<\/p>\n<p>As a person who loves to research, Dr. Trzeciak went to work and went through the research to test the hypothesis and to find the answers.\u00a0 Compassionomics is a compilation of the studies on compassion and not a representation of just some or a few studies.\u00a0 Using a systematic review and casting the largest net to capture the human knowledge on this subject, the results that came back represent where knowledge is today on this important topic and represents the best in current medical science.\u00a0 What was the result of the testing of the hypothesis?<\/p>\n<p>With more than 1000 scientific abstracts examined and reviewed as well as more than 250 research papers, the data is overwhelming and the evidence is in:\u00a0 Compassion Matters!\u00a0 Not only does it matter, compassion impacts the whole health care system and so many lives within it.\u00a0 Once a person really looks through the data, it is difficult to \u201cunsee\u201d the scientific evidence.<\/p>\n<h4>Impact of Compassion on the U.S. Health Care System<\/h4>\n<p>It is no secret that the U.S. health care system has a large amount of challenges it faces over the next decade.\u00a0 Some of the many challenges include the rising costs and availability of healthcare, the lack of adherence by patients, the rising burnout in health care professionals, the rising rates of diseases like diabetes, the addiction to pain relieving drugs, and the rising rates of depression, loneliness, and obesity and their impacts.\u00a0 Lastly, as June is PTSD Awareness Month, it is important to share the impact that PTSD is having on individuals and families every day.<\/p>\n<p>The scientific research shows that compassion impacts the above listed topics and many more.\u00a0 Whether it is reducing the costs of healthcare by having higher patient adherence, as an antidote to reducing burnout, as a way to impact the effect of diseases and trauma, compassion is a word and an action that can make a world of difference.\u00a0\u00a0 More science continues to come out showing the importance of building that human connection to impact personal health.<\/p>\n<h4>40 Seconds \u2013 Perception of Time<\/h4>\n<p>The pressures in healthcare to match the balance of providing better care against the rising costs along with spending cuts continues to put more pressure on the individual within the health care facility to be more productive with less resources.\u00a0 Time is clearly an important factor in the efficiency of health care.\u00a0 Research has found that more than 50 percent of physicians believe they do not have the time to treat patients with compassion.<sup>2, 3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Researchers from John Hopkins University performed a randomized controlled trial on cancer patients as they interacted with an oncologist.<sup>4<\/sup> The researchers found that the patients who received enhanced compassion intervention had significantly less anxiety at the end of the consultation.\u00a0 With a selected use of words and meaning, the impact of this consultation was timed at 40 seconds.\u00a0 More studies back this up.\u00a0 Compassion can impact a patient in under a minute.<\/p>\n<p>One of the challenges to overcome is the perception of time and how the feeling of being in a hurry can reduce compassion.\u00a0 Whether or not a person actually has the time to give, it is how a person perceives the time they have in determining how much compassion they may share.\u00a0 A solution proposed is to give more time away.<sup>5<\/sup>\u00a0 Although it sounds counterintuitive, research again shows the benefit of giving compassion and how that relates to the perception of time.<\/p>\n<h4>Wrapping it up<\/h4>\n<p>Because of the amount of significant findings found in Compassionomics, this post was mostly on the message Dr. Trzeciak wanted to get across with their work along with a quick summary of some of their research.\u00a0 The results of their research show that the evidence compassion is very meaningful and is measurable in so many ways.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward with this scientific evidence, the days of compassion being just a \u201cnice to have\u201d quality will change to becoming a necessary part of healthcare.\u00a0 The pressure of costs on the system as well as the dynamic effects on patient outcomes that compassion has will put more health care facilities in the position to look deeper into this research to see how they can bring more compassion to the patients and their staff.<\/p>\n<p>How long will it take for this changing of the minds on compassion to help move the needle?\u00a0 The answer to this question will reveal itself over the next few years.\u00a0 When one looks at the direction of the scientific research, the importance of compassion and human connection will look to continually increase as more science is found to support that compassion matters in expanding ways.\u00a0 As more professionals do the research and see the impacts, they will also want to follow the footsteps of Dr. Trzeciak and Dr. Mazzarelli to be a part of this shift in focus.\u00a0 To quote Dr. Trzeciak, \u201cOnce you believe it\u2019s powerful, you will want to use it as much as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><sup>1 <\/sup>Lown, B.A., J.
