E-book Charting Spiritual Care : The Emerging Role of Chaplaincy Records in Global Health Care

At first glance, this book deals with a dry, technical question. The issue of digital records sounds like an unremarkable aspect of our increasingly bureaucratic health-care systems rather than a topic for intriguing discussion. However, our experience of digital records tells a different story. In the academic and pastoral forums in which the issue has been discussed, it has led to intense, foundational, and often emotionally charged debates. Why should such a seemingly mundane subject trig-ger such lively discussions? At least three reasons can be given: First, documenting spiritual care in electronic medical records (EMR), and the associated training, tools, and collaborative work, may divert chaplains’ time and energy away from their primary purposes of personal engagement and spiritual care. One may wonder whether the investment of scant resources in an activity of unclear benefit to patients can be justified. Second, documenting spiritual care touches on the professional identity of healthcare chaplains. For many decades, this has been characterized by a clear demarcation from health professionals, which has manifested itself in nonpar-ticipation in typical health professional practices. Documentation was one of them. While it has long been the professional standard of clinical psychologists and social workers to document their work in medical records, it was until recently an unwrit-ten rule that chaplains should not participate in this task. Pastoral confidentiality was and remains the standard argument for this abstention. In the light of this, one might ask: Doesn’t chaplaincy jeopardize its professional identity by now conform-ing to health professional standards? This point leads to a third issue: the emergence of interprofessional spiritual care.
