Background: The article deals with the functioning of an interdisciplinary team at the Hospice of Western Kentucky in the USA.

Aim: The aim is to describe the functioning of this team in the hospice and its Heartford House facility.

Methods: The article presents the results of semi-structured interviews with selected team members. The interview focused on the scope of work and the role of team members, communication, team activities against burnout, conflict resolution, motivation, organizational management and essential elements in the functioning of the interdisciplinary team.

Results: The results of a research survey from the USA showed that an essential role in the functioning of the team is communication, cooperation, clear division of roles, independence of employees, a common goal and overall family atmosphere associated with good management of these teams.

Discussion: The criteria for functioning teamwork described in the literature thus proved to be met in the HWK team. The results of the research do not seem to be very surprising, but rather confirm that the existence of these elements within the team described in the literature, helps in its functioning and describes the specific way the team works in HWK.

Conclusion: An interdisciplinary team is a handy tool for achieving a goal if it works well. We can say that the composition of the teams is almost identical to the teams in the Czech Republic, and the roles of individual members also do not differ much.

Keywords: hospice, team, palliative care, management, cooperation
