1 Chaplain s Impact on Emotional and Spiritual Needs: Job Security in a world of Scarce Resources Beverly M. Beltramo, D.Min, BCC System Director of Spiritual Support Services Oakwood Healthcare System Objectives - To help you: Become the recognized experts in addressing emotional & spiritual needs. Be able to show how what we do impact core measures. Learn some techniques to raise patient satisfaction scores The Genesis of this talk 1

2 I wish my chaplains understood this Why does this matter? Who here has Enough chaplains to do the work? Big enough budget? Happy patients? Purpose: to offer one model to help you achieve the above. 2

3 Some context: Chaplaincy as a profession is facing significant challenges: 2010 American Hospital Association Study Financial Cutbacks Hospitals which made no cutbacks Hospitals which made both administrative and staff cuts Hospitals which made other budget cuts Changing religious landscape in US Americans are more Pluralistic/less Religiously Observant: Changing religious landscape: unchurched adults up by more than 50% between (Barna, 2011) Of 100 million unchurched, approximately 37% avoid churches because of negative past experiences in church or with church people (Barna Group, 2011, p. 2). My anecdotal information confirms yours; as we deal with members being late for renewal, we do get members who let us know that hours have been cut D. Lichter, Exec Dir., NACC 3

4 Lack of standardization in defining What is a Chaplain? NACC/NAJC/ACPE/APC MA/M.Div +CPE IFOC Mission Statement Trained and licensed chaplains will provide counsel, education, advocacy, life improvement skills and recovery training. = 47 hr Chaplaincy course Association of Christian Counselors offers chaplain licensing through ODB Ministries. Appears to only require a HS diploma. Before we go any further Take off your chaplain hat And put on your administrator hat 4

5 In our organizations, we measure what we value: ratings, safety, errors, customer or employee satisfaction. We measure what we hope to influence. - Benson In a world of measurables chaplaincy is hard to quantify Few quantitative studies: Vandecreek (2004) PSI-C patient satisfaction with the chaplain not chaplain s impact on patient satisfaction. HCAHPS- communication questions Press Ganey Emotional needs (no mention of spiritual ) 5

6 And emotional spiritual.right??? Well, research tells us differently Difference (between emotional need and spiritual need ) not clearly established within literature, nor, (per Clark Drain & Malone), well differentiated within the minds of most patients.* Study asked patients to rate how well chaplain addressed emotional needs and how well chaplain addressed spiritual needs. Every one of the seven measures correlated more highly with emotional needs than spiritual/religious needs including praying with the patient. * *Clark, Drain & Malone (2003) *Flannely, et al, (2009) 6

7 A single self: Emotional Spiritual SELF Physical Mental Clark, 4/9/2012 Press Ganey Preceptor 13 So OK: emotional (sometimes). spiritual But do emotional needs matter? (remember ) 7

8 $$$ - evidence shows relationship between patient satisfaction with emotional and spiritual care and profitability (Press Ganey, 2003) LOYALTY - When chaplains are involved, patient more likely to choose that institution again for future hospitalization (Gibbons, et al, 1991). PATIENTS SAY SO Joint Commission Journal of Quality Improvement,: Information and emotional support needs were more important to patients than all other care delivery needs or concerns. (2003) QOL - Balboni of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found that patients whose spiritual needs are effectively addressed have better QOL and are 3X s more likely to accept hospice care in lieu of futile aggressive care (Balboni, et al., 2010). OUTCOMES - Koenig, (Handbook of Religion and Health) found spirituality and religion play a critical role in how patients cope with illness and result in positive outcomes. SO to recap: We value what we can measure Emotional needs not differentiated from spiritual Emotional needs matter How do we measure satisfaction with emotional needs? 8

9 Press Ganey! 1. ALL hospital staff--but chaplains legitimately the experts. 2. ALL patients have emotional and spiritual needs. 3. Satisfaction w/emotional needs highly correlated w/ Overall satisfaction. I wish my chaplains understood this 9

10 Are there things which chaplains do which impact patient s satisfaction with emotional & spiritual needs? If we want staff to care they have to feel cared about. chaplains know a thing or two about that Any examples? 10

11 Chaplains know how to care for staff: Port in the storm Teach self care? Model self care? Teach staff to care for each other? Other? We need to find the wow s. 11

12 A few chaplain wow s Handmade Blankets/Baby clothes Music Pet visitation EOL care Hospitality Other?? We may need to invite others Chaplain : patient ratio (ouch!) Volunteers not just helpers a ministry of their own. Help them hear how God has called them. CPE for volunteers Scripting 12

13 Teach OTHERS what we know... The question doesn t say Did the chaplain come and say a prayer with you? Chaplains understand patients emotional & spiritual needs Making sense Control Connection & Care EOL Hope A search for MEANING & PURPOSE Harold Koenig Meeting the Spiritual Needs of Patients 13

14 More stuff we know Let go of the stuff before you enter Emotional vulnerability Listening Guard dignity Acknowledge (and respond to) emotion. Compassion matters. Honor silence. Caring interventions we can teach Preferred name Sit Good touch Empathy Cultural Competence Know when to refer Clark (Hosp & Health network) & Dingman ( Jrnl of Nursing admin) 14

15 What it can look like Not so long ago or far away Our patient satisfaction goal was 75 th percentile Scores hovered in the 30 s Chaplains were charged with the Emotional Needs question (help!) 15

16 First, we began to do things differently. CPE training for volunteers Scripting Day 2 Spiritual Assessment 16

17 Day 2 went from THIS (Introduction) Brochure Prayer (pretty much always!) Outta there TO THIS (Introduction) Religious pref. Contact pastor? Stuff? Open it up Anything we can do? Prayer (maybe)? Our H & P went from this Do you want to see the chaplain? 17

18 To this We trained others: PowerPoint which we presented to (almost) all RN s on all clinical units Modified content for a 30 min New Hire Med Resident training As value of PowerPoint was recognized, was asked to present to all departments both clinical and non clinical. scores started to climb. 18

19 In short We taught staff what chaplains know about caring for people. We reached out to care for staff if they feel cared for, they will do a better job of caring for others ( the chocolate brigade ). We affirmed it when we saw it! 4/9/ DID IT WORK? 19

20 Hospital B Percentile Rankings Total n= Overall Satisfaction Emotional Needs Chaplain In place Training Completed Oct 2008 So then we launched in four underperforming units at another hospital 20

21 Mean Score: Intervention Units vs. Overall Hospital - Emotional Needs Units: 4S, 8S, 9S, 10S Whole Hospital Q Q4 Q Q2 Q3 Mean Score: Intervention Units vs. Overall Hospital - Overall Satisfaction Units: 4S, 8S, 9S, 10S Whole Hospital Q Q4 Q Q2 Q3 21

22 A final note nursing satisfaction American Nurse Association: almost half of respondents exhausted and discouraged when they leave work. Making a difference in a patient s life, gives nurses the feeling of reward. The neglect of the whole person in modern health care creates widespread dissatisfaction which is certainly affecting the skyrocketing rates of burnout of nurses. (Koenig 2003) 4/9/ So in summary Emotional and spiritual needs matter. Chaplains are the experts at addressing those needs. Emotional needs scores overall satisfaction. This patient satisfaction and clinician satisfaction too! 4/9/

23 Implications of this work Emotional needs highly important to patients Chaplains play key role in addressing emotional/ spiritual needs Emotional/ spiritual satisfaction = high R w/ overall satisfaction Higher patient satisfaction = reimburse - ment + EOL + patient loyalty Bibliography American Nurses Association.
