This session presents the critical elements of a statement developed by an international, multidisciplinary panel of experts in the field of spiritual care. Faculty will provide guidance to providers of spiritual care and those who advocate for that care on the indicators of high-quality spiritual care, the metrics that can measure those indicators, suggested evidence-based tools that can reliably quantify those metrics, and concrete examples of how each indicator can guide best practice spiritual care.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define and discuss the best practice quality indicators for spiritual care in healthcare
2. Identify possible metrics and measures to assess for each quality indicator
3. Engage a process for moving quality spiritual care integration and measurement forward in your own institution
