The timely integration of SPHC for patients suffering from these diseases can reduce hospitalisation and alleviate symptom burdens. An intervention of an SPHC nurse\u2013patient consultation followed by an interprofessional telephone case conference with the general practitioner (GP) was tested in the KOPAL trial (\u2018Concept for strengthening interprofessional collaboration for patients with palliative care needs\u2019). As part of the trial, the aim of this study was to gain in-depth insights into SPHC physicians\u2019 perspective on care with and without the KOPAL intervention for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and dementia (D).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Qualitative evaluation of the KOPAL intervention from the perspective of SPHC physicians as part of the KOPAL trial.

From the perspective of SPHC physicians, patients with CNMD are generally difficult to manage in GP care. The timing of SPHC initiation is patient-specific, underscoring the need for collaboration between SPHC physicians and GPs. However, the primary mandate for healthcare should remain with GPs. SPHC physicians actively seek collaboration with GPs (eg, through the KOPAL intervention), viewing themselves as advisors for GPs and aspiring to collaborate as equal partners.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Effective communication and the negotiation of future interprofessional collaboration are essential for SPHC teams.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial registration number<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DRKS00017795.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2024-085564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,27]],"date-time":"2024-07-27T06:51:28Z","timestamp":1722063088000},"page":"e085564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Timely integration of specialist palliative home care (SPHC) for patients with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dementia: qualitative evaluation of the experiences of SPHC physicians in the KOPAL trial"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3158-4259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franziska","family":"Schade","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, University Medical Center G\u00f6ttingen, G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"},{"name":"Institute for General Practice and Palliative Care, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danica","family":"H\u00fcttenrauch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, University Medical Center G\u00f6ttingen, G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3575-3817","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sven","family":"Schwabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for General Practice and Palliative Care, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7871-0884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christiane A","family":"Mueller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice, University Medical Center G\u00f6ttingen, G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0966-4087","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadine Janis","family":"Pohontsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice and Primary Care, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5963-2526","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephanie","family":"Stiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for General Practice and Palliative Care, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3448-9679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Scherer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice and Primary Care, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6807-9518","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriella","family":"Marx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Practice and Primary Care, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Friedemann","family":"Nauck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, University Medical Center G\u00f6ttingen, G\u00f6ttingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121407351122000_14.7.e085564.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
