What is ACP?
ACP stands for “Advance Care Planning”. Advance care planning (ACP) is exactly that: a plan that reflects the preferences of a person’s future medical care.
It involves making decisions in advance for situations where you may not be able to make your own choices due to illness or injury. ACP includes discussing and documenting your preferences with trusted individuals like family members and healthcare providers.
By creating an advance care plan, you can ensure that your wishes are respected and that your medical care aligns with your values and beliefs. It’s a purpose-driven process that helps guide your healthcare decisions and ensures you receive care that is consistent with what you want.
What does the plan include?
Advance care planning typically involves completing an advance directive, which is a legal document that records a person’s wishes about medical treatment at a future time.
This document can include instructions about the types of treatments the person would like to receive or decline, as well as the types of care they would like to receive in the event of a terminal illness or injury. It can also include instructions about who should make medical decisions on the person’s behalf if they are unable to do so.
