'The Pause: A Second Chance for a Meaningful Connection'

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

I often reflect on how small this world is, or how meeting a new person can forever change your life. This happened in September 2018 when I met two amazing emergency department nurses from Baltimore at a conference in Ohio. Little did I know at the time, but we had much more in common than our shared specialty of Emergency Medicine. They were sharing their outcomes after introducing "The Pause," a short verbal reflection and silent moment performed after a patient death meant to recognize and acknowledge the patient and the care team, at their busy Emergency Department. While intrigued, I also knew we had previously tried implementing this in our own ED without consistency or success.
