Expanding and Enhancing Advance Care Planning to Promote Goal-Concordant Care

Brian S Wood et al. N C Med J. 2020 Jul-Aug.

Advance care planning (ACP) is associated with benefits for seriously ill patients, caregivers, and clinicians. As ACP usage expands, there should be greater emphasis on supporting an ongoing communication process among patients, families, and clinicians, as well as removing barriers for advance directive document completion and retrieval.
