Healing Hospital: A Daring Paradigm

Conventional belief is that patients come to the hospitals to get help and hospitals, as well as hospitals’ settings,  have been designed to extend medical help. However, medical help is not the only process on the road to recovering. Healing can have other shapes and forms and recent studies have shown that the concept of spiritual healing has potential benefits. It is especially true when health care providers, doctors, and nurses reach out to patients on a personal level. Changing the environment from conventional setting to healing hospital paradigm helps to reduce stress, avoid medical errors, and improve staff morale and efficiency (Kreitzer, 2011).   This paper will try to identify and describe healing hospital concept, along with advantages of this concept, including technological and cultural advancements that hospital may need to undergo through in order to develop holistic ways of caring and ultimately curing.
