What is it about?

Healthcare chaplains need a user-friendly spiritual assessment tool that is easy to learn and easy to use, but that is also thorough and that results in a plan of care. The Four FACTs Tool is specifically designed for an acute care setting, but can readily be adapted for other settings, such as long term care, hospice, or outpatient care. Developed by a professional board certified chaplain with 20 years experience in various healthcare settings, the Four FACTS Tool will enhance your practice.
