Impact of Humanistic Care on Healthcare Providers and Patient Outcomes with Dr. Kathy Reeves Arnold P. Gold Foundation TRANSCRIPT
Download PDFApr 24, 2024
Dr. Kathy Reeves, President and CEO of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, works with medical schools to promote humanistic care and is responsible for the White Coat ceremony for medical students to emphasize the need for human connection in healthcare. The Foundation is also responsible for the Thank a Resident Day and the Gold Foundation Honor Society, which recognize those doctors who meet the high standards of their peers. The development of Gold Human-Centered Spaces is a scalable solution to create healthcare environments that foster humanistic interactions. The goal is to make humanism a healthcare priority and to implement practical solutions.
Kathy explains, "With that, Arnold and Sandra knew there had to be a foundation dedicated to making sure the human connection remained central in healthcare. And that's what the Gold Foundation has done and continues to do. We are the group that is responsible for the White Coat ceremony when people enter medical school to make sure medical students are aware that it's all about the person in front of them. There are a number of other programs that we do with medical schools, and we're attached to over 90% of the medical schools across the country. We work directly with these schools to help keep healthcare human."
"There is an abundance of research out there that will show you when a patient feels well cared for, they're healthier. When the interaction goes well, the healthcare professional is healthier. Those two things alone lead to lower healthcare costs, less no-show rates, less health professional turnover. So it is in some ways the epitome of value-based care, if we really value people, it's going to save money. It's going to make the society healthier."
