In October 2008, the Commission on Quality in Pastoral Services of the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC) convened a work group to draft consensus standards of practice (SOPs) for chaplains in acute care. This was the first step in creating SOPs for chaplains in various settings in order to better communicate the work of chaplaincy and to serve as a basis for establishing best practices. The initial draft was published in PlainViews 6, no. 2 (Feb 18, 2009) and responses invited from the chaplaincy community. This second draft consensus document is followed by invited responses from various perspectives that the work group deemed important to the discussion. If you wish to add your voice, please e-mail the work group by Friday, December 4 (sop@professionalchaplains.org). The work group will consider those responses as well as the ones published in Chaplaincy Today to create a final consensus document that will be sent from the Commission on Quality in Pastoral Services to the APC Board of Directors for a decision on how to proceed. The Steering Committee of the Spiritual Care Collaborative affirmed the initial document earlier this year, and the APC Board of Directors affirmed this draft in September. The hope is that all cognate partners will affirm or adopt the final consensus document for professional chaplains in acute care settings and that it will serve as a model for chaplains in other settings. A work group of chaplains already is engaged in the process of creating long-term care SOPs. In this publication, the glossary appears as a separate document to enable the reader to open both and to move easily between them. Glossary words are highlighted on their first appearance. |
