As an industry agent of change, TPIU empowers patients to receive compassionate care and healthcare workers to practice greater compassion towards patients, colleagues, and themselves, to ultimately attain three crucial strategic goals:
Show your commitment to providing compassionate healthcare.
TPIU mourns the passing of Claudio Pannunzio, our beloved Chairman of the Board, compassionate leader, cancer survivor, mentor, and friend.
Claudio brought wisdom, heart, and unwavering commitment to TPIU’s mission of advancing compassionate, patient-centered healthcare. Through his leadership, advocacy, and personal example, he helped strengthen our organization and inspire others to treat every patient with dignity, empathy, and respect.
A gifted communications leader, mindfulness teacher, interfaith chaplain, and devoted supporter of cancer patients and families, Claudio lived the values TPIU stands for.
We honor his life with deep gratitude and will carry his legacy forward. We also extend our heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Gabriella, and to all of Claudio’s family and loved ones.
It’s a win-win situation for all
Practicing Compassionate Healthcare fosters patient satisfaction and enhances the sense of fulfillment among healthcare practitioners. Compassionate Healthcare allows patients to achieve better medical results and decreases the likelihood of healthcare workers facing medical malpractice allegations. Research shows that Compassionate Healthcare Providers order less expensive tests and patients receiving Compassionate Care take better care of themselves, leading to decreased healthcare costs!
Supporting compassionate care is an active choice
We believe in the power of community and collaboration when it comes to providing healthcare services. By partnering with local organizations, healthcare providers, and advocates, we can create a comprehensive system of care that truly puts patients first.
The standard Patient’s Bill of Rights is an important set of rights and responsibilities that provide for basic healthcare. To improve upon this basic healthcare, TPIU has developed a supplemental set of standards: The TPIU Compassionate HealthCare Patient Bill of Rights.
