Team working: palliative care as a model of interdisciplinary practice
Abstract
Teamwork is an integral part of the philosophy of palliative care. Cross-functional, interdisciplinary teams offer benefits to patients, practitioners and specialist areas of care. Leadership of teams can be difficult. With shared responsibilities, more than the sum of the competencies of team members can be offered. In palliative care the final decision-maker is the patient.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
