Abstract
Advance directives are a vital tool ensuring patient’s wishes regarding end-of-life care are met. End-of-life discussions with physicians are associated with fewer aggressive interventions and greater quality of life metrics. Increased utilization of advance directives by Vermonters could ensure the wishes of patients are met.
