Partnerships Between Hospitals and Community for Spiritual Care

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hospitals have a long history of forming partnerships with religious based organizations to ensure that patients have access to spiritual care professionals. One type of partnership is the Hospital-Community Collaborative (HCC). An intentional partnership is formed to share financing and governing (decision-making) of the hospital spiritual care program. Many Hospital-Community Collaborative (HCC) arrangements currently exist yet there is little research or information on how a community based organization can form an effective partnership with a healthcare institution. The goal of all partnerships is a win-win situation where both partners have a voice in decision-making. As healthcare continues to face fiscal restraint we need access to sustainable models of spiritual care. Partnership between hospital and community is a creative and viable model and may be most applicable in smaller or rural based hospitals. This book is the dissertation research on four HCC s in Ontario, Canada and asked the question What enables them to work? Information is also included on the variety and prevalence of partnership arrangements in Ontario (20%).
