The Intersection of FFS and VBC Medicine: ACP
ACP is a face-to-face service (including telemedicine) where a patient and their physician discuss the patient’s health care wishes should they become unable to make decisions about their care. Things like advance directives and Health Care Proxies are discussed. [You can generally find ADs on your State attorney generals’ office website.]
All You Need to Know about Advance Care Planning
If you’ve been considering advance care planning (ACP), you’re in good company. More than 90 percent of Americans believe it is important to discuss the treatment and palliative options they would choose to pursue if they were to become incapacitated by medical issues in the future, according to THE CONVERSATION PROJECT’S 2018 NATIONAL SURVEY. Yet, they also report that only 32 percent have actually conducted these conversations.
