Advocating for the Care You Want
Research shows that you are more likely to get the care you want if you have conversations about your future medical treatment and put a plan in place. Additionally, having these conversations may also help your loved ones grieve more easily and feel less guilt, burden, and depression.
What are Advance Directives?
Moreover, advance care planning is associated with advance directives in healthcare. In addition, advance care planning involves discussing and preparing for future decisions about your medical care if you become seriously ill or unable to communicate your wishes. Furthermore, advance directives are legal documents that provide instructions for medical care and only go into effect if you cannot communicate your wishes.
