Since 2018, Hospital e Maternidade Brasil has joined the campaign âWhat matters to you?â, Which promotes empathy in patient-centered care. The idea is for the health professional to put himself in the other's place, talk more with patients and their families and understand what is most important for the person who is hospitalized. It was this culture that made a team nurse take to the hospital's management an unprecedented suggestion: what if we had a wedding inside the hospital?
This request came about because patient José Luiz Francesconi, 55, transplanted in the last year, is hospitalized for treatment and was very upset because he could not participate in his son's wedding. The Hospital team talked to the family to make the surprise ceremony possible for the patient inside the unit and take the wedding to him, so that the patient could participate in such an important moment for everyone. The idea worked and the union of the newlyweds Vinicius Belisårio Francesconi and Ana Caroline Soares took place last Saturday (July 6), with the presence of several hospital professionals, family members and especially the special guest, the groom's father.
The action was mobilized by the employees and all the preparations were made by the Hospital team, which managed partners for decoration with flowers, bouquet, violinist and even happily married. At Hospital Brasil, the campaign action, which takes place at least once a month, includes all hospitalized patients, including those in the ICU, but this will be the first time that the team has been involved in making such a special request that it is a wedding.
âMr. JosĂ© is a patient with compromised immunity because of his treatment and that would prevent him from attending an outside wedding and making contact with many people. So, understanding the importance of this special desire, we mobilized the team and made this beautiful action possible, because here at the Hospital he has all the clinical conditions that enabled his participation in this unforgettable moment without compromising his health â, says CĂ©sar Torres, medical director of Hospital e Maternidade Brasil. These actions have been highly valued by Rede DâOr SĂŁo Luiz, as they contribute to creating bonds of trust between professionals and patients, improving medical care and helping to cope with the clinical condition
The movement âWhat does it matter to you?â started in the United States when, in 2010, Maureen Bisognano, CEO of the Healthcare Improvement Institute, challenged healthcare professionals to talk more with their patients and families, acquiring a more empathic link and questioning the sick about what mattered most to them at that time
