Applications include risk prediction, symptom monitoring, needs identification, and communication support, yet synthesis of its role in interprofessional shared decision-making (IP-SDM) across care levels remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To synthesize evidence on AI in hospice and palliative care, focusing on its role across IP-SDM levels and its influence on decision processes and outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Systematic review guided by the IP-SDM framework.

AI applications primarily functioned as decision-support tools supporting early palliative care identification, advanced care planning (ACP), serious illness communication, and palliative referral processes. Most interventions operated at meso level of the IP-SDM framework through predictive models, automated prompts, and communication tools integrated into workflows. Although AI was associated with improved process measures, including ACP documentation and clinician behaviors, these improvements did consistently translate into downstream patient-centered outcomes. AI demonstrated limited involvement in deliberative aspects of shared decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>AI currently functions primarily as a facilitator of early identification, communication, and workflow coordination within hospice and palliative care.
