    Advance Care Planning (ACP)<\/strong> <\/span>is essentially a proactive discussion among loved ones, expressing one’s wishes as to the extent of medical care he \/ she wishes to receive \/ decline in the future, should his \/ her health condition deteriorates for the worse and they can no longer make decisions for themselves anymore. These discussions are not easy to initiate and may be difficult to guide and navigate. This can be a helpful guide with more general information to answer frequently asked questions and address specific queries.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    These discussions should be facilitated with accurate information about the condition, outlook and prognosis of the patient. Therefore, appropriate discussions with treating healthcare providers are necessary before making decisions or any changes to any decisions previously made.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Often, the outcome of these discussions are written down to be recalled when required, or to be communicated to healthcare providers when needed. The documentation of these discussions and the decisions made are important, especially for patients dealing with progressively debilitating illnesses or deteriorating clinical conditions.\u00a0 However, the requirement to document any decision should not override the need to have any ACP discussion; often such decisions need time for reflection and further deliberations. Discussions should still continue unhindered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
