Request for Abstracts 2023

The Compassion in Action Healthcare Conference offers compassionate health workers and leaders access to the insight, tools, and knowledge to advance healing relationships of care. Dynamic, engaging keynotes, panels, and workshops from world-class researchers and practitioners offer community and inspiration as we work together to sustain a culture of compassion in healthcare. We invite you to submit your work for presentation that is related to one of the six themes of the virtual 2023 Compassion in Action Healthcare Conference. These themes are the 6 key principles of our Healing Healthcare Initiative. They are vital for a health system to deliver quality, compassionate care by a thriving workforce. The themes are as follows:

Diversity and Equity
An organization promotes equity by identifying, addressing and dismantling all forms of structural discrimination and racism.
Inclusion, Voice and Choice
An organization ensures inclusion by involving its health workers in decision-making and creating solutions.
Mental Health and Well-being
An organization values its health workers’ mental health and well-being by reducing stigma, investing in programs and addressing systemic barriers.
Psychological and Physical Safety
An organization protects its health workers and patients by creating a safe, trusted environment.
Team Cohesiveness and Collaboration
An organization fosters mutual respect, shared purpose and collaborative learning among its health workers.
Trust and Trustworthiness
An organization builds trust with its patients and health workers by involving them in organization updates and decisions.

The conference will take place virtually on December 7-8, 2023. Submissions are due April 21, 2023.

Individuals whose abstracts are accepted will be expected to register for the conference. Scholarships will be available for qualified candidates.
