A Patient-Centered Approach to Advance Care Planning of Patients With End Stage Heart Failure and Renal Disease
Based on theories regarding decision-making and patient education the investigators have
developed Patient-Centered Advance Care Planning (PC-ACP). This intervention is designed to
improve patient and surrogate knowledge of ACP, increase the congruence between patient and
surrogate in treatment decisions, decrease the patient's and surrogate's conflict in making
such decisions, and increase the consistency between patient preferences and the actual care
they receive. The ACP intervention is conducted with the patient in the presence of the
surrogate.
