AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let chaplains employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) share a patient's contact information with an outside religious or faith-based organization, if the patient chooses. This applies only to patients who have received a spiritual assessment from a VA chaplain. The patient would pick which organization receives the information. The bill defines a spiritual assessment as a chaplain's evaluation to gather spiritual information about a patient and, if applicable, inform the patient's medical treatment plan.
