eMindful Incentive-Based Health and Wellness Services
for Health Services Providers
The services we offer health professionals focus on the role of mindfulness in supporting humanism and professionalism in the clinical setting.
A growing scientific literature demonstrates that mindfulness training can be a pivotal component in:
- Treating and preventing burnout
- Reducing clinical errors
- Promoting patient-centered care
- Enhancing quality of care
- Improving clinician-patient communication
- Enriching professional life
Mindfulness training is one of the best stress management tools available, and it can help health care professionals improve their own lives and the quality of care they provide. A stressed health care workforce leads to increased costs (from high staff turn-over, medical errors and burnout) and decreased quality of care.
Studies suggest that mindfulness training can help physicians improve communication skills, increase empathy, conduct patient-centered interviews, manage burnout, enhance self-efficacy, and improve coping skills. One recent study found that training psychotherapists in mindfulness significantly improved the mental health of the patients under their care. Mindfulness training is an appropriate choice for health professionals who wish to:
- Manage stress more effectively
- Improve the quality of care they give to patients
- Enhance their communication skills
- Cope with or prevent burnout
- Cultivate increased empathy and compassion
- Reconnect with the humanistic dimension of clinical care
Because all our courses are on-line, busy health professionals can easily access the virtual classroom from home or work. We offer live, instructor-led training in our classroom with two-way communication to facilitate interaction among teacher and students. Feedback from participants indicates high satisfaction with the supportive, collegial nature of the groups.
