Abstrakt: In 1995, Kenneth B. Schwartz founded the Kenneth B. Schwartz Center Foundation whose mission is to promote compassion in health care. One of the Center's most popular initiatives is the Schwartz Center Rounds, a multidisciplinary forum where medical professionals come together to discuss and process the difficult emotional issues that can arise in patient care. This article briefly describes implementation of Schwartz Center Rounds at a VA hospital, summarizes findings from a study that examines Rounds' outcomes, discusses their utility in providing support for palliative care professionals, and provides lessons learned for others who may want to consider Rounds' implementation.
