Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare ways to engage sick patients and their family members in Advance Care Planning (ACP) discussions. Two pathways will be tested, discussions using a Nurse Navigator led pathway versus usual care.

Conditions

  • Advance Care Planning

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Nurse Navigator Pathway

In the Nurse Navigator Pathway, nurse navigators are being used as leverage to: approach qualified patients to initiate advance care planning discussions, schedule advance care planning visit with patients' primary care provider to further discuss advance care planning and to mail advance care planning resources to patients after their initial advance care planning discussion.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care

In the Usual Care arm, there is no approach by nurse navigators to initiate advance care planning discussions and it does not have a structure advance care planning visit. Therefore, no further action is required for the patients who were randomly assigned to the usual care arm.
