Description
Summary:Eight spiritual care practitioners at an acute care teaching hospital undertook a systematic chart audit of their documentation practices in the patient electronic health record. The purpose was to evaluate their practices using the standards of their professional association and regulatory college.

A limitation was that their manager acted as both improvement coach and performance evaluator.
