Abstract
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The important task of nurturing core human values in healthcare can be assisted and facilitated by the use of a variety of technology, to create, store, and disseminate a range of narratives in health and illness, from text and video to immersive experiences using virtual reality. This paper will discuss the importance of narratives to nurture core human values, the use of technology for narrative to nurture core human values, as well as the challenge of using technology for narrative to nurture core human values.
Highlights
The International Charter for Human Values in Healthcare presents five core values that are essential for effective healthcare (Rider et al, 2014): compassion, respect for persons, commitment to integrity and ethical practice, commitment to excellence and justice in healthcare
Developing and sustaining these values across the lifelong journey of becoming and being a doctor is essential, and the ubiquitous presence of technology is increasingly having a central role in nurturing these core values
Narratives are essential to nurture values in healthcare since they promote self-reflection (Chou et al, 2014), and technology is becoming increasingly important for the creation, storage, and dissemination of a wide range of different narratives, from text and video to immersive experiences using virtual reality (VR)
