  9. How can we honor or respect our patient’s choices if we don’t ask • Medical Home – in providing the highest quality of care to our patients, knowing their wishes for end of life care is OUR responsibility • It is likely to be a quality measure that enhances the clinics re-imbursement for high quality medical care • It is the right thing to do!! • Our standard process is ……….we don’t have a standard process for discussing, documenting, storing, or retrieving an advanced directive from the EMR. Why?

  10. Pilot study involving patients over the age of 75 being seen for RHM visits with Drs. Maray/Lalley • Goal is to streamline and simplify a process for discussion, documentation, storage, and retrieval of a patient’s ACP using the “Respecting Choices” model • The process needs to be simple and meaningful to patients, as well as efficient, high quality, cost beneficial, and reproducible for all clinic staff • Educate clinic providers and staff on the value and techniques of ACP discussions with our patients What ?

  11. How?

  12. It is all about the conversation ….goals, values, beliefs , and not just completing the form Trained facilitators meet with patients and families to have these conversations – in the home, clinic, group meeting, etc. Documentation of the ADP is in the electronic medical record Respecting Choices Model

  13. Number of patients who have a completed Advanced Directive in the EMR ( compare pre/post study) Patient/agent satisfaction survey Number of additional requests for Advanced Directives through HIM department over the study timeline Measures
