Σύνοψη	The Support Team Assessment Schedule (STAS) is a clinician-rated observational instrument assessing the impact of palliative care support on patients with advanced illness and their families across seven key domains: pain, symptoms, anxiety, family well-being, communication, and support adequacy. Developed by Baker, Speck, and Cohen in 1997, the STAS has become a standard quality-of-life outcome measure in community palliative care, hospice, and research, enabling teams to systematically monitor the effectiveness of their interventions and identify patients and families in crisis.	The Needs Assessment Tool for Palliative Care (NAPC) is a comprehensive, multidomain assessment framework designed to systematically identify unmet palliative and supportive care needs in patients with advanced illness and their families. Rather than a numerical scale, the NAPC functions as a structured clinical interview and resource allocation guide, helping palliative care teams deliver holistic, person-centered care by addressing physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and practical dimensions simultaneously.
