Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Administration
  • Clinical Chaplaincy
  • Patient Care Models

Background:

  • The CARE 2000 initiative at Mercy Hospital Scripps Health San Diego aimed to redesign patient-focused care.
  • Traditional roles of hospital chaplains were being re-evaluated within this new model.
