Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Policy
  • Gerontology
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Global policymakers are increasingly focusing on advance care planning (ACP).
  • Educational programs, legislation, and public awareness campaigns highlight the growing importance of ACP.
  • Existing ACP practices require refinement to ensure inclusivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize evidence on the definition and conduct of advance care planning (ACP).
  • To identify barriers and facilitators influencing ACP.
  • To explore current and future models of ACP, focusing on individuals with diminished decisional capacity.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing evidence on ACP.
  • Analysis of different ACP models, including those in Wales, Asia, and for individuals with dementia.
  • Examination of strategies for integrating individuals with diminished decisional capacity into ACP.

Main Results:

  • Various ACP models are being analyzed, with novel approaches in Wales (future care planning, best interest decision-making for those lacking capacity).
  • Research includes applications in Asian countries and for individuals with dementia.
  • Evidence highlights the evolving nature of ACP practices.

Conclusions:

  • Advance care planning (ACP) is a shared responsibility among patients, families, and healthcare professionals.
  • Enhanced clarity is required for applying ACP practices to individuals with diminished decisional capacity.
  • Improving ACP for those with diminished capacity will advance patient-centered care.
