Evaluation de l’impact d’une équipe mobile palliative intrahospitalière dans un hôpital tertiaire [Assessment of the impact of a palliative care support team in a tertiary hospital]

Its interventions appear to respond to the growing need for specialized palliative care, particularly in patients with complex clinical problems
