Recognizing changes are coming to the healthcare delivery system, pastoral care departments are developing a new vision of spiritual care. As they educate and hire staff, many directors are finding that alternative staffing approaches can help them make the transition. Flexible schedules for pastoral care professionals improve the care they deliver and enhance morale. Restructuring responsibilities within the department and giving some patient populations priority can be helpful. Some facilities share chaplains' time to minimize on-call burden; others are increasingly using supervised volunteers. Pastoral care givers who are specialists in areas such as mental health and chemical dependency can often perform certain functions traditionally performed by other professionals. By assigning chaplains to a product or service line, pastoral care departments can improve the continuity of care patients receive. As parishes' role in the healing ministry takes on new meaning, healthcare institutions' pastoral care staff can help initiate and develop new parish services or provide assistance that complements existing parish efforts.
