| Annotation | Advance care planning (ACP) is a process of discussion between an individual patient and care providers irrespective of discipline. The difference between ACP and planning more generally is that the process of ACP is to make clear a person's wishes, and will usually take place in the context of an anticipated deterioration of the individual's condition in the future, with attendant loss of capacity make decisions and/or ability to communicate wishes with others. This pamphlet clarifies the differences between general care planning and three decisions that can be made in advance: advance care planning (ACP, or advance statement), advance decisions to refuse treatment (ADRT), and do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNACPR). Websites for further information are suggested. (RH). |
