Although hospital-based palliative care is typically delivered through a generalist\u2013specialist model, limited evidence exists on how organizational characteristics of palliative care teams (PCTs) shape interprofessional collaboration with ward staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe the organizational characteristics of hospital-based PCTs and examine perceptions of interprofessional collaboration from both PCT and ward staff perspectives, including an exploratory descriptive comparison between PCT characteristics and ward staff satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multicenter cross-sectional survey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting\/participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acute care hospitals in Flanders, Belgium.

Consultations most commonly focused on end-of-life decision-making and advance care planning. Interprofessional collaboration was perceived positively by both groups. Workload and time constraints among ward staff remained important barriers. PCTs predominantly fulfilled advisory and coaching roles, which were also preferred by ward staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Effective interprofessional collaboration in hospital palliative care is highly valued by both PCTs and ward staff. Advisory and coaching-oriented consultation approaches were common and generally well accepted in practice. Further research is needed to determine how organizational characteristics and consultation practices influence collaboration and support generalist palliative care within acute hospital settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10499091261491665","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]],"date-time":"2026-10-01T11:20:20Z","timestamp":1790853620000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Integration of Palliative Care in Acute Care Hospitals: A Multicenter Survey Study on the Organization of Palliative Care Teams and Their Collaboration With Ward Staff"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5336-9207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louana","family":"Moons","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven"},{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1560-2277","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mieke","family":"Deschodt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven"},{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2273-0250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Pype","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit Interprofessional Collaboration in Education, Research, and Practice, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2141-8313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Oldenburger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"},{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"},{"name":"Leiden University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inge","family":"Bossuyt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1530-0869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fouke","family":"Ombelet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"},{"name":"Leuven Brain Institute (LBI)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2972-0867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maaike L.","family":"De Roo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven"},{"name":"University Hospital Leuven"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech-2015-206073"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmedr.2018.10.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afac155"},{"key":"e_1_3_8_5_2","volume-title":"EAPC Atlas of Palliative Care in the European Region 2025","author":"Garralda E","year":"2025","unstructured":"Garralda E, Tripodoro VA, Ling J, et al.
