GRACE: GRAtitude, Compassion, Empathy
Our groundbreaking program GRACE teaches GRAtitude, Compassion, and Empathy to healthcare professionals. It was created on evidence-based research to help clinical and administrative staff strengthen patient interaction, build greater compassion and empathy, and recognize how patients and families express gratitude. The program has been developed between Gobel Group and world-leading academicians David Victorson, Ph.D. and Robert Emmons, Ph.D. Dr. Victorson is a licensed psychologist and Associate Professor of Medical Social Sciences in the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University where he directs the Consciousness in Health Research Lab. He is also the Director of Integrative Oncology at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Survivorship Institute. Dr. Emmons is the world’s leading scientific expert on gratitude.

Data and Analytics
Many of our clients are blessed with hundreds or thousands of new patients coming through their doors every month, and these patients represent prospective new donors. Wealth screening tools have allowed us to identify those with indicators of wealth, but how might our work change if we could add a gratitude screening tool to the equation? In the past, this type of “gratitude score” has been difficult to compute because of restrictions on patient data. However, with changes to HIPAA (in the US) and with health systems more actively surveying patients on their satisfaction, the possibility of combining wealth and gratitude scores to find the best prospects is now becoming a reality.
Our Gratitude to Give, or G2G℠ tool utilizes patient satisfaction scores and other patient data, along with donor and wealth data, to predict and segment patient pipelines to identify the best major, annual, and planned gift prospects. This powerful data can be leveraged to identify the best clinician partners in philanthropy. Using our powerful data analytics, we will identify the persona of your grateful patient donor, and then build a customized G2G℠ predictive model to identify your best prospects with both high wealth and high gratitude.
