Goals of care conversations and advance care planning for paediatric patients living with serious illness

Article indépendant

RAPOPORT, Adam

Goals of care discussions and advance care planning aim to align the values and wishes of patients and their families with the care received. All paediatric health care practitioners who care for fetuses, infants, children or adolescents with serious illnesses have an ethical responsibility to educate themselves about these aspects of care. This statement assists care providers with important conversations. Effective communication is essential to clarify the goals of care and establish agreement on appropriate treatments for achieving those goals, including resuscitative and palliative measures.
