Advance-care planning (ACP) is the keystone of goal-concordant care, enabling patients to state their treatment preferences while they still have the mental capacity to do so. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has acknowledged this by accepting two Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) reimbursement codes for these essential conversations.
But Does Advance Care Planning Impact Patient Care?
Well… yes and no.
Join MiHIN and Making Choices Michigan’s, James Kraft, Ph.D. – Program Director, Consumer Choices
As we discuss how people’s preferences change as their health status shifts; how forms offer vague and sometimes conflicting goals for end-of-life care; and how documents historically have been unavailable when decisions need to be made. We’ll also discuss how Advance care planning has evolved significantly in the past decade and the focus today is on conversations between patients and clinicians about patients’ goals and values, not about completing documents. Learn how MiHIN and Making Choices Michigan is supporting this process in new ways.
