“There is a misconception that supportive interactions require more staff or more time and are therefore more costly. Although
labor costs are a substantial part of any hospital budget, the interactions themselves add nothing to the budget.
Kindness is Kindness is freefree.. Listening to patients or answering their
questions costs nothing. It can be argued that negative interactions—alienating patients, being non-responsive to their needs or limiting their sense of control—can be very costly. …
Angry, frustrated or frightened patients may be combative, withdrawn and less cooperative—requiring far more time than it would have taken to interact with them initially in a
positive way.” —Putting Patients First, Susan Frampton, Laura Gilpin, Patrick Charmel
