Abstract:
Advance Care Planning in Swiss Nursing Homes: Results of a Focus Group Study Abstract. Advance Care Planning (ACP) is a standardized consultation process in which patients define their therapy goals for future medical treatments with the help of a qualified health care facilitator. This way, ACP increases the probability that patients' wishes are fulfilled in case of decisional incapacity. The aim of this study was to implement a previously tested Swiss ACP program in two Swiss nursing homes to better understand the resulting processes, chances and difficulties. For this purpose focus group interviews were conducted after first implementation steps. The results show that an ACP implementation needs and must be coordinated with an approach covering the entire health system.
