What We Teach

Identify. Accept. Connect.

When care team members are offered expressions of gratitude, it is critical to respond in an appropriate and respectful manner. At the Institute for Gratitude in Healthcare, we teach colleagues the importance of these three simple words as a constant reminder to honor and respect others who wish to express gratitude:

IDENTIFY when gratitude is being offered.

ACCEPT (and never dismiss) the expression.

CONNECT that patient or family member to a colleague who can triage the expression of gratitude so they can validate that the grateful patient/family has had a meaningful way to express themselves.
