ForwardA Guide to Effective Conversations About Advance Care Planning
The 2013 Institute of Medicine report, Dying in America, showed that only 47% of adults over age 40 had an advance directive. In another 2013 study, 90% of the people said that talking with their loved ones about end-of-life care is important, but only 27% had actually done so. By applying learned conversation skills, healthcare providers will be better prepared and more effective when they engage patients and families in advance care planning and shared decision making in their own end-of-life care decisions. This informative session will give providers the tools and skills necessary to have the conversation about what matters most to patients and families before a medical crisis occurs.
