title: [The issues to be considered by a compassionate care think tank].
abstract: Compassionate care is based on an individual and collective dynamic process. Otherness, recognition, the meaning given to actions are fundamental preliminary considerations of any approach in this direction. A group of engaged professionals can initiate and support a project for promoting compassionate care in an institution.
