Advance care planning is the communication process between a capable adult, family or other key people in their lives, and health care providers to ensure that the adult’s beliefs, values and wishes for future health care are known in the event that the adult is incapable of making health care decisions when the health care is required. Although advance care planning is supposed to be an ongoing process of communication, health care providers are often given the impression that it is a linear process and that once the documentation is done, the process is complete. | Advance care planning is the communication process between a capable adult, family or other key people in their lives, and health care providers to ensure that the adult’s beliefs, values and wishes for future health care are known in the event that the adult is incapable of making health care decisions when the health care is required.
