Conditions

  • Advance Care Planning
  • Nurse Care Coordination
  • Multiple Chronic Health Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Advance Care Planning Intervention

ACP Intervention The ACP intervention involves structured discussions between patients and NCCs using 1 of 4 decision aids in order to clarify patient's values, goals and preferences for "living well" and sharing goals with family, SDM/HCA, and the health care team. Because the time needed for reflective thinking, decision making and discussions with family are important components of the ACP process, the intervention is designed to occur in at least 3 NCC/patient visits over approximately 4 weeks. The NCC will assist patients in the ACP process following scripts specific to each of the decision aids.
