Healthcare Chaplaincy

As the United States becomes a more multicultural and multireligious society, the ranks of healthcare chaplains are no longer being limited solely to Judeo-Christian clerics. In an effort to increase interfaith understanding and ecumenical awareness, the author presents one model of healthcare chaplaincy that derives itself from a Buddhist perspective and how he uses it in his daily work at a large medical center in the United States.

In the January 1996 article titled "Safety and Efficacy of High-dose Rhesus Human Reassortant Rotavirus Vaccines—Report of the National Multicenter Trial" (Rennels et al. Pediatrics, 1996:97:7-13), the Acknowledgments section on page 12 included an incorrect location for one member of the United States Rotavirus Vaccine Efficacy Group, and another member was inadvertently omitted. The correct list should include: Stephen Fries, MD, Boulder Medical Center, Boulder, CO; and Hervey Froehlich, MD, Kaiser Permanente Medical Office, Fresno, CA.

Healthcare IT (HIT) has failed to live up to its promise in the United States. HIT solutions and decisions need to be evidence based and standardized. Interventional informatics is ideally positioned to provide evidence based and standardized solutions in the enterprise (aka, the medical center) which includes all or some combination of hospital(s), hospital based-practices, enterprise owned offsite medical practices, faculty practice and a medical school. For purposes of this chapter, interventional informatics is defined as applied medical or clinical informatics with an emphasis on an active interventional role in the enterprise. A department of interventional informatics, which integrates the science of informatics into daily operations, should become a standard part of any 21st century medical center in the United States. The objectives of this chapter are to: review and summarize the promise and challenge of IT in healthcare; define healthcare IT; review the legacy of IT in healthcare; compare and contrast IT in healthcare with that of other industries; become familiar with evidence based IT: Medical informatics; differentiate medical informatics from IT in healthcare; distinguish medical, clinical, and interventional informatics; justify the need for operational departments of interventional informatics.

The Subject

In 1986 I was awarded the Squibb Travelling Fellowship by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The funding this provided, combined with funding provided by the Henry Hutchinson Stewart Scholarship in Psychiatry awarded by Trinity College, Dublin, enabled me to spend a three month period in the summer of 1987 at the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, doing research in the area of emotional adjustment in adolescents with chronic physical illnesses. The research will be the subject of a future paper. The purpose of this communication is to outline some of the steps en route between winning the Fellowship and starting on the project at Children's Hospital. The amount of paperwork involved was time consuming, confusing and, at times, overwhelming, and I hope that other doctors planning to travel to the United States to carry out research will benefit from my expeience.

Abstract Background The novel severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) originated in December 2019 and has now infected almost 5 million people in the United States. In the spring of 2020, private laboratories and some hospitals began antibody testing despite limited evidence-based guidance. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who received SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing from May 14, 2020, to June 15, 2020, at a large academic medical center, 1 of the first in the United States to provide antibody testing capability to individual clinicians in order to identify clinician-described indications for antibody testing compared with current expert-based guidance from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Results Of 444 individual antibody test results, the 2 most commonly described testing indications, apart from public health epidemiology studies (n = 223), were for patients with a now resolved COVID-19-compatible illness (n = 105) with no previous molecular testing and for asymptomatic patients believed to have had a past exposure to a person with COVID-19-compatible illness (n = 60). The rate of positive SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing among those indications consistent with current IDSA and CDC guidance was 17% compared with 5% (P < .0001) among those indications inconsistent with such guidance. Testing inconsistent with current expert-based guidance accounted for almost half of testing costs. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate a dissociation between clinician-described indications for testing and expert-based guidance and a significantly different rate of positive testing between these 2 groups. Clinical curiosity and patient preference appear to have played a significant role in testing decisions and substantially contributed to testing costs.
