Advance care planning
Article indépendant
The overall rate of advance care planning (ACP) in the general population remains low. ACP is a dynamic process that needs to be refined over time. ACP documentation includes the naming of a health care proxy, preferences regarding life-sustaining treatment interventions, and other, more disease-specific, interventions, such as chemotherapy, hemodialysis, and surgeries. The process should start early in someone's adult life, with a broad scope of defining what matters most for that person. Over time, the initial ACP could be refined to include more specific limitations of certain medical procedures. ACP documents achieved more standardization in the last several years.
