New legislation mandates advance directive procedures for healthcare organizations. While physicians support advance directives, many don't initiate discussions, leaving patient wishes potentially undocumented.

Area of Science:

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the implications of new legislation on advance directive procedures in healthcare.
  • To examine the gap between patient desires for end-of-life care discussions and the completion of advance directives.
  • To assess the potential impact of new regulations on physician-patient communication regarding advance care planning.
