ADVault Senior Advisor Says Gaps in Advance Care Planning Put Patients at Risk and Impede Effective End-of-Life Care

“Advance care planning has not historically been a priority during the training of clinicians so a knowledge and skill gap may very well exist,” says Dr. Feifer. “Providers can perform a great service by encouraging their seriously ill patients to complete an advance directive so clinicians at point-of-care will know what the patient wants, even if they are unable to speak for themselves. And because advance care planning often requires multiple conversations over a period of time -- built on a trusting relationship and a common understanding of the patient’s prognosis -- primary care providers are ideally suited to integrate advance care planning into their patient encounters.”

Key Points: 
  • Failure to effectively address advance care planning represents a gap in care that is just as serious as unmonitored diabetes or an inappropriately treated asthma.
  • Closing these gaps in care, by ensuring patients receive care concordant with their wishes, requires just as much system redesign and focus.
  • High on that list is the recognition of the importance of advance care planning and the critical role providers should play.
  • And because advance care planning often requires multiple conversations over a period of time -- built on a trusting relationship and a common understanding of the patients prognosis -- primary care providers are ideally suited to integrate advance care planning into their patient encounters.
