Advance Care Planning

Advance Directives, Medical Order Sets, and Surrogate Decision-Making

Hannah N. Farfour

Key Points

• Advance care planning (ACP) is a process through which individuals can use their values, goals, and preferences to outline medical care consistent with their wishes.

• Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) should understand opportunities and barriers in ACP and advocate for and engage in effective ACP in diverse populations.

• APRNs should support patients, surrogates, and family members as they participate in ACP and make decisions regarding treatment preferences.

• Preferences for medical care should be documented in legal documents as well as within the medical record.

• Billing codes have been created to support ACP conversations and documentation.
