Can We Measure Good Chaplaincy?
A new professional identity is tied to quality improvement
The November December 2008 publication of The Hastings Center Report (Vol. 38, No.6) contains several exceptional articles which focus on the profession of chaplaincy, the goal of patient-centered care, and the special challenges of defining, measuring, and improving quality in less-standardized areas of health care delivery. Having served on the project workgroup, I highly commend this publication as a useful resource for healthcare administrators, chaplaincy personnel, and ethicists.
