Background: Palliative care for patients with advanced cancer improves suffering symptoms, and quality of life (QoL). However, routine implementation of palliative care by specialty palliative care consultation is still an unmet need among in-patients with advanced cancer. Our study aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a team-based approach on QoLs and readmission rate when compared to routine practice by among medical oncologists. Methods: This study was a prospective, Quasi-Experimental design. In-patients with advanced cancer were non-randomly assigned to receive palliative care service by team-based approach or medical oncologists only. The primary endpoint was QoL. The secondary endpoint was the readmission rate at 7 and 30 days of hospital discharge. Results: One hundred twenty-two in-patients were enrolled. In-patients who were assessed by a team-based approach had significantly improved change scores of subjective well-being (SWB) when compared to another group (∆ SWB: -1 [-19 – 11] vs 0 [-9 – 15], p-value = 0.043). Furthermore, patients who were assessed under a team-based approach had significantly decreased in terms of readmission rate at 7 days of hospital discharge (4.92% in the team-based approach group vs. 19.67% in the medical oncologist group, p-value = 0.013). Conclusions: Interdisciplinary collaboration is the key to success in establishing goals of care, which are supporting the best possible QoL and relieving suffering symptoms for those in-patients with advanced cancer. Furthermore, the readmission rate at 7 days of hospital discharge was significantly reduced by a team-based approach. Therefore, comprehensive palliative care assessment by interprofessional collaborative practice is required. Trial Registration: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR): number 20200312001.
