For Healthcare Organizations
Spiritual care as a measurable clinical discipline.
For hospital systems and healthcare organizations seeking to elevate their spiritual care departments from adjunct services to integrated clinical programs, with standardized assessment, documentable outcomes, and interdisciplinary credibility.
The Value Proposition
Why integrated chaplaincy matters to your system.
Chaplaincy has historically been difficult to measure, standardize, or integrate. The PEACE Model changes that, giving your organization a framework that makes spiritual care structured, documentable, and clinically credible.
Measurable Outcomes
Standardized assessment and documentation produce data, spiritual care needs identified, interventions delivered, and outcomes tracked. Chaplaincy becomes reportable, not invisible.
Documentation That Counts
PEACE-aligned documentation meets clinical standards for the electronic health record, ensuring chaplaincy notes are readable, actionable, and valued by the interdisciplinary team.
Interdisciplinary Integration
The PEACE Model gives chaplains a shared language with physicians, nurses, and social workers, enabling true integration into rounds, care planning, and quality improvement.
Standardized Practice
A reproducible framework means every chaplain on your team operates from the same clinical foundation, reducing variability and elevating the baseline of care.
What Changes
Four dimensions of transformation for your spiritual care department.
Structured
Spiritual assessment across all chaplain encounters
Documented
Interventions in the electronic health record
Measurable
Spiritual care outcomes for quality reporting
Integrated
Chaplaincy in interdisciplinary care planning
When spiritual care is structured, documented, and integrated, it stops being invisible. It becomes a measurable contributor to patient outcomes, team wellbeing, and organizational quality.

The Integration Process
From assessment to sustained practice.
A four-phase engagement model designed to transform your spiritual care department into an integrated clinical program, with lasting infrastructure, not just training.
01
Assessment & Gap Analysis
We evaluate your current spiritual care program (staffing models, documentation practices, interdisciplinary integration, and outcome measurement) to identify the gap between current state and clinical standard.
02
Team Training & Certification
Your chaplaincy team receives PEACE Model training and certification, establishing a shared clinical framework and standardized documentation practice across the department.
03
System Integration
We work with your clinical informatics team to integrate PEACE-aligned documentation templates into your EHR, ensuring chaplaincy notes are structured, searchable, and interoperable.
04
Outcome Measurement & Sustained Practice
We establish quality metrics for spiritual care, implement ongoing competency processes, and provide consultation to sustain practice long after initial training is complete.
Before Your Next Survey
Close Your Documentation Gap Before Your Next Survey
Joint Commission surveyors are looking for a consistent, repeatable process for spiritual care assessment and documentation, not just evidence that a chaplain was present. If your department cannot demonstrate that process on paper, you are exposed. The PEACE Spiritual Assessment Model gives your chaplaincy team a structured, five-domain framework that produces documentation surveyors can read, auditors can trace, and interdisciplinary care teams can act on.
If you are a compliance officer, quality director, or hospital administrator:
Forward this page to your chaplaincy director or department head. The PEACE model can be implemented department-wide without replacing your existing EHR, it works as a structured note format inside Epic, Cerner, Meditech, or any standalone documentation system.
If you are a chaplaincy director:
We offer a department assessment to identify your current documentation gaps against Joint Commission standards and map where PEACE closes them. This is the starting point for the PEACE Implementation Program.
What a Department Assessment Covers
Review of your current spiritual care documentation against PC.01.02.01, RC.02.02.01, and RI.01.02.01

The Integration Process
From assessment to sustained practice.
Hospital chaplains are required to hold a bachelor's degree. The field of study is flexible, many chaplains come from theology, religious studies, psychology, social work, nursing, or education backgrounds. What matters is that your undergraduate education gives you a foundation for graduate theological study.
If you already have a bachelor's degree in any field, you can move directly to the next step. No need to start over.
