selling the invisible...

So the hospital system I work for applies a numerical value to Spiritual Care. Imagine Siskel and Ebert giving a thumbs up or down to the Dalai Lama. Makes about that much sense to me.

It is based on Patient Surveys upon discharge.

So for the year 2005 January through December, based on 968 patient surveys based on "THE CHAPLAIN" part of the three question on Spiritual Care I have been providing 4**** care, which is above national averages, and above the System values of me hospital chain.

My Supervisor cares about this and so I am supposed to also. I wish I did, but I don't. Much.
