Episode description

Can compassion relieve burnout? Is the healthcare professional’s cup half empty, half full, or refillable? Can AI help doctors return to better quality patient care?

Russ Branzell, CHIME’s President and CEO, welcomes Anthony Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, Co-President and CEO, Cooper University Health Care, to CHIME’s newest Trailblazers podcast. Dr. Mzzarelli is the author of two books related to compassionate healthcare, Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference as well as Wonder Drug.

Together, they unpack “compassionomics”, the data behind this practice, and how it can truly revolutionize the healthcare industry as well as the world. They discuss the importance of connecting with others and being “other-focused” rather than self-focused. They agree that compassion is good medicine, not a “side dish” as it can be taught in medical school. Listen now to learn more about incorporating true compassion into healthcare and the benefits that result.
