Declarations
:
: This study involved organizations (hospitals) and no human subjects. Therefore, within the scope of the Dutch Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO) and according to the Central Committee on Research involving Human Subjects (CCMO) this type of study is exempt from approval of an ethics committee. As the respondents were no research subjects themselves and solely provided organisational data, respondent participation in the survey was regarded as implicit consent. All respondents (i.e. key members of specialist palliative care teams or hospital palliative care program leaders) were informed that participation was anonymous and voluntary and withdrawal of the survey was possible at any time. All participants gave their informed consent by participating in the survey.
