Abstract:
The increasing life expectancy, the earlier detection of terminal illnesses and the increasing complexity of care pathways led us to propose an innovative response within the Neuchâtel Hospital Network (RHNe), in the form of a mixed intra-hospital mobile team (GSPmob), composed of doctors and nurses from geriatrics and palliative care. Through geriatric and palliative assessment, we are able to highlight the patient's different medical problems. Our team, after two years of existence, has met our patients' needs as well as the hospital teams' needs. And yet we encountered certain challenges. Our current objective is to describe our experience by presenting our results and difficulties.
