AbstractThe health care industry and health care practitioners face significant challenges related to increasing demand for services and decreasing availability of resources. This article offers brief descriptions of four actions that health care leaders, administrators, and clinical staff of all disciplines can implement and/or advocate for to promote continuing quality of biopsychosocial/spiritual care for those we serve. The first action addresses how we, as health care practitioners, improve delivery of care through continuous improvement methodology; the second, how we enhance the training of our future workforce by increasing in-home training opportunities; the third, how we cost-effectively broaden our understanding of the human experience through the inclusion of humanities in our training and workplace; and the fourth, how we increase our self-awareness to improve our ability to practice as humanistic clinicians.Copyright © 2012 U.S. Cancer Pain Relief Committee.
