The idea is to wear the jackets at industry meetings and conferences to spark discussion about patient-centered care and how medical professionals can engage with them, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The jackets are a visual depiction of that person’s experience with healthcare. For example, Susannah Fox, chief technology officer of HHS, has one showing her giving a speech from behind a screen. “We’re at a moment in healthcare where we need people to express the humanity of the changes we are seeing,” and the artwork is a “reflection of that need,” she told the WSJ.
So far, Ms. Holliday has painted 353 jackets, and other artists have contributed 55 to the “walking gallery,” according to the report.
