HeartMath in Health Care--An Introduction
This is a time of unequalled stress in health care. A nursing shortage, now reaching unprecedented proportions, ranks as one of the top three problems hospital administrators face. High turnover rates, sick leave, medical errors, and shrinking reimbursement add greater and greater stress. With these stresses, personal and organisational effectiveness suffers.

The Importance of Emotional Balance in Health Care
Emotional management is a prerequisite for individual and organisational health and productivity. Thriving health care organisations create a culture of care for their workforce as well as for the patients and communities they serve. Providing skills to manage the stress within each individual translates into increased health and well-being for the organisation as well as for those it serves.

HeartMath is the only system scientifically validated to reverse the effects of stress on both individuals and organisations--and to translate those effects into bottom-line results.

We offer several programs for Hospitals and Medical staff as detailed below. (see HeartMath Health Care Programs).

In Australia/NewZealand we also offer a HeartMath program known as the Resilient Doctor Program ( HeartMath RD Program). This has proven to be helpful and popular for Doctors and even their spouses. The RD Program is offered in Australia exclusively via partnership with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. (RACGP).
