Abstract:
Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that allows individuals to express their health-care preferences and make decisions about their future medical care. Clinicians practicing in a Geriatrics clinic or with many patients who are aged 65 years or older have a unique opportunity to discuss patients' goals of care. ACP is particularly important for older adults, who may be facing serious health issues and/or end-of-life decisions. This review article will provide an overview of the importance of ACP in the geriatrics clinic, discuss the barriers to implementation, and explore strategies for successful integration..
