Abstract

This topic has been submitted as a request for the development of a DIN SPEC according to the PAS procedure. DIN SPECs are developed within DIN-SPEC-consortiums set up on a temporary basis. In the attached business plan you will find detailed information on the planned project as well as concrete time limits for commenting on the business plan (four-week commentary period) and for registering for the kick-off. This document will be developed and approved by the authors named in the business plan. This document defines quality standards, requirements and terms for the consideration of spiritual needs of sick people and people in need of care in inpatient, day-care and outpatient care (spiritual care). This document not only provides guidance for improving the quality of patient-centered care, but also establishes general principles for inter-professional communication between the various healthcare professions, including those responsible for education, training and volunteering. This document is not applicable to pastoral care for the sick, elderly and disabled as defined by the religious communities.
