本文描述了比利时一家拥有1470张床位的教学医院跨学科内部联络小组的基本原理、实施、干预措施和初步调查结果。成立该小组的动机有三个方面：住院人口的老龄化，在非老年病房工作的保健专业人员往往缺乏处理老年病人需求的必要技能，以及比利时法律要求每家综合医院建立一个内部联络小组。我们的团队旨在发现有风险的老年患者，协助医疗保健专业人员照顾老年患者，并使他们对最佳老年护理敏感。本文解释了实施的基本理念和策略，重点是互惠、灵活性和合作的概念。初步结果基于2004年11月至2006年11月进行的719次咨询的过程评估、时间登记和优势、劣势、机会和威胁分析（SWOT）。虽然我们的数据是初步的，团队的实施是务实的，而不是研究驱动的，但它们提供了对比利时跨学科内部联络团队的发展、实施、功能和干预的见解。
This article describes the rationale, implementation, interventions and preliminary findings of a Belgian interdisciplinary internal liaison team in a 1470-bed teaching hospital. The motive to start the team was threefold: the ageing of the inhospital population, the conclusion that health care professionals working on non-geriatric wards often lack the necessary skills to deal with older patients' needs and Belgian law, obliging each general hospital to set up an internal liaison team. Our team aims at detecting geriatric patients at risk, assisting health care professionals in caring for older patients and sensitizing them regarding optimal geriatric care. The article explains the underlying philosophy and strategy for implementation, focusing on the concepts of reciprocity, flexibility and cooperation. The preliminary results are based on a process evaluation of 719 consultations carried out from November 2004 to November 2006, a time registration, and a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analysis (SWOT). Although our data are preliminary and the implementation of the team was pragmatic rather than research driven, they provide insight into the development, implementation, functioning and interventions of a Belgian interdisciplinary internal liaison team.
