An Overview of Advance Directives An advance directive includes the end-of-life information you want your family and healthcare providers to know about your healthcare decisions if you become unable to communicate those choices. Give a copy to your healthcare provider and healthcareproxy.
So it defines unrepresented as someone who lacks decisional capacity to provide informed consent to a particular medical treatment. And that can really inform what your own institutional policy is.

Summary Transcript CME Summary Early in my research career, I was fascinated by the (then) frontier area of palliative care in the emergency department. I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here? They got feedback.
It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit. Summary Transcript Summary In May we did a podcast on KidneyPal (the integration of palliative care in renal disease) , which made us think, hmmm… one organ right next door is the liver.
We didn’t really have any available information about changing from one opioid to the other, about… Medicines were used in a very unsophisticated way because we just didn’t know any stuff. Eric: So Susan, very big thank you for joining us on this podcast. We’ve got a lot to cover. You have a song request for Alex?
So it’s an example of something that can start outside of the healthcare system and move its way in. Ideally, there’ll be a place in the chart that actually captures the name of that person and their contact information. Susan: Thanks so much, Alex. Welcome back, Bob. Bob: Thank you. Welcome back, Rebecca.
The Cruzan ruling led to a flood of interest in Advance Directives, and eventually to the Patient Self Determination Act, which mandates provision of information about advanced directives to all hospitalized patients. Other states set lower bars, including oral assignment of surrogate decision-makers.
So I do think it’s useful to have that additional information. It would have a CPR section and then it would have a healthcareproxy section. Because POLST doesn’t, I believe, correct me if I’m wrong, you can’t assign a durable power of attorney for healthcare or healthcareproxy.
Advance Healthcare Directives (also known as advance directives, living wills, or durable power of attorney for healthcare) are legal documents that specify your preferences for medical treatment and designate a healthcareproxy (also known as agent or surrogate) should you no longer able to make decisions due to illness or incapacitation.
