Mr. Lee Tomlinson
Ted speaker on Compassion in Healthcare
The life’s work of “Patient Lee” is to motivate medical professionals to reinstate compassionate C.A.R.E. at the forefront of contemporary
medicine in order to benefit their patients, coworkers, the financial health of their hospitals, and perhaps most significantly, themselves.
Finding his goal was anything but simple. “Patient Lee,” an award winning television producer, owner of a film studio, former professional athlete,
and speaker for TED, is still alive today thanks to a lifetime of consistent, incredibly successful medical care and profoundly caring attention.
The goal of this movement is to encourage America’s 12.5 million healthcare professionals to rediscover the compassion that initially
drew them to the field of medicine, and to then be inspired to step up their efforts to show even more compassion
than before in order to better heal their patients, coworkers, and the world, but most importantly, themselves.

Mrs. Laurin Mooney
Founder of SpeakingIN, RN MS
As a result of her life experiences as an ED nurse, Off-Shift Administrative/Clinical Supervisor, and patient advocate for family members, she began seeking for the answers to the following two questions: “How can it be that we are harming the same folks we want to help?” as well as “What must change if we are to achieve the desired results?” She started out as a legal nurse consultant. But she knew straight away that Ishe wanted to concentrate on learning how to halt or avoid harm in real time. A healthcare corporate liability expert witness with a strong focus on safety then gave her advice.
He asked her to put the 353 examples he had worked on over the course of 35 years into a database because he knew there were significant insights there. My life was impacted by the meeting. The occurrences followed a pattern that recurred frequently. There were unmistakably human dynamics as well as systemic flaws. Rather than seeing them as failures of mankind, she recognised their ability to generate safety. She later discovered HRO by examining other industries’ approach to safety in difficult, high-risk positions. She quickly realised that HRO places a strong emphasis on human potential to ensure safe, successful outcomes while also addressing the issues that people face in challenging, dynamic work. WOW! She reached out with HRO experts from several industries, and they were happy to have me.

Associate Director, Standards Development and Interpretation Joint Commission International, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, United States (US)
Dr. Claire Sorenson was born and reared in Wisconsin before moving to Chicago in 2008 to attend Loyola University’s nursing school.
She spent nearly 15 years in the city after graduation, concentrating in the high-acuity, high-stress situations of the NICU, PICU, and case management. Her unwavering commitment to her career and her coworkers provided her with unparalleled insight into the motivations, pressures, and breaking points of healthcare workers at all levels, particularly those on the front lines. She noticed how those elements influenced not only each individual employee, but also the entire team, department, and institution. Dr. Claire’s passion for healthcare quality and improvement led her to work in a variety of settings, ranging from top-tier academic medical centres in urban epicenters to severely under-resourced makeshift facilities in developing countries, at all levels of funding, acuity, and geographic/demographic constituency. Dr. Claire was able to uncover the common threads that plagued teams all around the world, independent of geography or departmental makeup: the detrimental, and fully preventable, repercussions of compassion fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and burnout, thanks to this widely diversified professional landscape.
