About this study
This study begins to look at ways nurses in primary care might help patients engage in Advance Care Planning and communicate their values and preferences to family and doctors.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Patients on the list of each NCC who do not have an Advance Directive on file in the Mayo electronic health record will be invited to participate.
Inclusion Criteria:
- This study will include community-dwelling adult patients with multiple chronic health conditions who do not have an Advance Directive document on file and their SDM/HCA if identified during the course of the intervention.
- We will accrue 40 patients and up to 40 SDM/HCAs to participate in this pilot study as subjects (80 total participants).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Because the ACP process, as part of self-management, is a deliberative process, patients with dementia or a serious, persisting psychiatric diagnosis identified in the medical record will be excluded.
No vulnerable populations will be included in this study
