The coordination of the palliative care team by the chaplain is an interesting model that is not unique to this one institution. It would be interesting to hear more input on the pluses and minuses of this model. It would certainly make palliative care in this system less medically focused. Certified chaplains are also skilled facilitators who are used to helping people be heard in a group- also a plus in this case.
