Roadmap What is an advance directive Why complete an advance directive How to complete an advance directive

What is an AD Advance directive: A document that instructs health care providers about your care when you cannot

What is an AD For when you are unable to voice your own wishes Only effective when you lack capacity

Why complete an AD Gives you control Assure that decisions regarding your medical care reflect your wishes

Why complete an AD Peace of mind Relieve stress, avoid arguments among loved ones

What form to use DE Bar & AG Patient & consumer initiatives Caring Connections Five Wishes Catholic Diocese of Wilmington MD, PA, NJ forms

Two parts of the AD 1.Appointment of agent FKA “durable power of attorney for health care” 2.Instructions FKA “living will”

Appointing your agent You choose someone to make health care decisions on your behalf Your agent’s authority is “springing”

Appointing your agent By default, your agent has authority: To accept & refuse medical treatment To select health care providers To decide to donate organs To authorize an autopsy But your agent has only as much authority as you give them

Appointing your agent Choose primary and alternate agents Who are willing Who will be available Whom you trust Talk to your agents before appointing them

Appointing your agent “Under no circumstances shall my health care providers consider input from the following persons” “I dearly love my son Brendan. But because of our situation, he shall have no part in health care decisions on my behalf”

Recording instructions Statement of treatment wishes The form is simple but the content is complex It is hard to anticipate specific medical conditions and interventions

Recording instructions You can give instructions or more general guidance Reflection Speak with family Speak with doctor

1. Make it valid 2. Make it effective 3. Make it current

Witnesses Over 18 Not related to you Not entitled to any part of your estate Not financially responsible for your care Not an owner or employee of your health care facility Ombudsman or patient advocate if you are in a long term residential health care facility

Make & distribute copies Primary agent Alternate agents Family members PCP Specialists Attorney Clergy Online registry

Changing your mind An AD never expires Review your AD every few years Easy to change your mind You can revoke your AD at any time You can write a new AD at any time Send copies of your new AD

Organ donation Does not affect your medical care Organs needed for: Transplant Research Medical education
