Abstract

Advance directives are important clinical tools for assuring that patient’s end-of-life goals are met. Earlier referrals to palliative and hospice care through health care planning could better assist Vermonters in attaining their care goals. This project sought to improve advance directive completion in Vermont, increase awareness of health care planning among patients, and aid discussion between patients and providers in the clinic.
