| Περίληψη: | Background: Palliative care policies are institution-wide documents with significant clinical, ethical, and operational implications. Objective: To strengthen and standardize institutional policy review, our palliative care team developed a structured interdisciplinary model. Methods: Interdisciplinary reviewers used a structured discussion guide and four-part analytic framework, including evidence synthesis, electronic health record data review, safety analysis, and regulatory alignment. Results: The process identified gaps between policy and practice and informed targeted revisions and workflow improvements. Conclusion: This model supports more consistent, relevant, and practice-aligned hospital-based palliative care policy development.
