Description

Background

Inpatient Palliative Care Teams (IPCTs) are often called upon to provide multidisciplinary care across hospital settings at Jefferson. However, there is currently no mechanism in place wherein providers consulting the IPCT can provide feedback to specialty palliative care clinicians. Such input from providers could be used to elucidate those services provided by the team which are most appreciated and those which require further development in order to be truly effective. Furthermore, such input may also serve to identify completely new areas for inpatient palliative care needs.
