Mobile palliative care teams are interdisciplinary health care units that provide care to terminally ill patients. As such, these teams are characterized by knowledge of several different areas of health care they provide. Mobile palliative teams consist of doctors, nurses and / or technicians, social workers, bioethicists, and they often include psychological and spiritual support, which is also provided to the patient. Palliative care in the Republic of Croatia has always existed in the form of medical home visits. As a standardized logistics instance within the health care system, mobile palliative care in Croatia began to form in the early 2000s, and today has 22 professional teams that deal with many challenges in patient care. Advances in health science and technology mitigate certain challenges of palliative care teams, but do not diminish the psychological and communication challenges faced by professional team members due to the nature of the work they do – caring for the dying individuals within their own society. Further optimization of knowledge and its standardization, i.e. practical application, enable employees of mobile palliative teams to do their job more efficiently and to reduce some of the negative effects it has on them, the most famous of which is burnout at work.
