Prospective payment's impact on ancillary services. Pastoral care, social services: role in reducing medical costs.

Under the prospective payment system, costs for medical social services, as well as for other inpatient services, are reimbursed at a fixed rate according to the patient's diagnosis. Thus hospitals, under the incentives to reduce costs by limiting services and increasing patient volume, will examine ancillary services to determine whether the services increase or decrease costs. Social and pastoral care workers will likely play an important role in hospitals' cost reduction efforts in several ways: Begin forming a discharge plan early in a patient's care, especially for patients who are at high risk for delayed discharge. Evaluate patients and their families to detect problems that may impede treatment and recovery and refer patients to community and hospital resources for help. In the emergency room, guide persons who do not need to be hospitalized to community resources. Record patient information that may help health professionals improve treatment and speed discharge. Such data include patients' financial status, use of community agencies, and rehabilitation. Counsel patients and families as they make treatment decisions.

Chaplaincy Service, Hospital↗

Patient and family perceptions of hospital chaplains.

While most hospitals provide chaplaincy services for patients, families, and staff, these services are seldom studied and their contribution is poorly understood. A questionnaire created by the College of Chaplains of the American Protestant Health Association was mailed by an insurance company to patients recently dismissed from the hospital, requesting evaluation of three non-medical services (social services, chaplaincy, and patient representatives) and how well the spiritual needs for support/counseling, prayer, and sacraments were met. Responses revealed that, in comparison to the other two non-medical services, patients receive more visits from chaplains, evaluate these visits as more important (p less than 0.000), and report that these visits meet their expectations more highly (p less than 0.000). Regression analyses demonstrate that when the chaplain meets the patient's need for support/counseling, the respondent is more likely to select the hospital again (p = 0.04) and recommend it to others (p = 0.05). Similarly, when chaplains meet the family's need for support/counseling, the respondent is likely to choose the hospital again. Since chaplains clearly make an important contribution to patients, their families, and the hospital, administrators should review the adequacy of their chaplaincy services in the light of these data.

Self-reported value of spiritual issues among adolescent psychiatric inpatients.

Reports on a survey of a prospective, uncontrolled sample of adolescent psychiatric inpatients on the importance of spiritual issues to them. Results indicated that the vast majority of adolescents in this sample indicated that spiritual beliefs are considered important. Notes that a majority reported that mental health professionals rarely asked them about their beliefs in the spiritual areas. Observes that nearly all the patients reported having a chaplain-led spiritual group that they perceived as a helpful part of the therapeutic milieu.
