4 Advance Care Planning (ACP) Project A Project of the Greater Flint Health Coalition GLHC Summit September 14, 2017 ADV 12B GLHC.Summit lk The realities of end of life care: Often no one knows, and never will for certain, what the patient wanted No matter what decision is made, families and healthcare professionals live with considerable uncertainty about their decision, resulting in lasting distress Incredible amounts of staff time are spent attempting to sort through the ethical complexities of end of life care decisions 8 4

5 Genesee County s Aging Population Joint CHNA identified Effective Care Delivery for an Aging Population as one of the top community health needs. Median age of Genesee County residents has increased over 13% in the past 15 years, with individuals aged 55 and older representing a disproportionately high amount of the total population. Percentage of residents 65 years and older increased 31.03% from 11.6% in 2000 to 15.2% in Older residents as a population have an increased need for social supports and health care services. 9 The purpose of the Greater Flint Health Coalition s Advance Care Planning (ACP) Project is to develop a systemic approach to ACP in Genesee County. The goals, in addition to making advance directives (ADs) the norm for all residents ages 55 years and older, are to: 1. Create an effective plan that defines specific instructions and the selection of a well prepared healthcare agent 2. Make the plan available to healthcare providers and treating physicians 3. Demonstrate evidence that plans were honored 10 5

6 The ACP Project is utilizing Gundersen Health System s Respecting Choices model to develop the ACP system for Genesee County. 11 Starting Point: Genesee County s Baseline ACP Data 12 6

7 ACP Baseline Data Data collected from all three Genesee County hospitals Reviewed medical records for deaths occurring from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 Excluded deaths in the emergency department Total number of hospital deaths during time period: 504 Mean age of death: 70.7 years Range of ages at death (youngest to oldest): years (one 13 year old) Percentage of deaths which are male: 49.2% or female: 50.8% Percentage of deaths by ethnicity (n=504) o White: 73.5% o African American: 24.3% o Hispanic: 1.2% o Other: 1.0% 13 ACP Baseline Data Percentage of patients stating they had an advance directive (AD) (percentage of decedents with any type of AD) (n=501): Yes: 27.5% (138) Percentage of patients with AD document found in the medical record at the time of death (total patients=499): Yes: 29.5% (147) Type of AD document (n=156, some patients had multiple types): o Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care (AD): 90.4% (141) o Living Will: 3.2% (5) o Personal Letter: 3.2% (5) o Other: 3.2% (5) Percentage of deaths with a Michigan Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care: 28% Percentage of Deaths with other form of AD: 3% 14 7

8 Advance Care Planning is more than checking boxes on a form and signing a document such as a living will. What is Advance Care Planning (ACP)? 16 8

9 Advance Care Planning (ACP) Definition: Advance Directive (AD) A plan, made by a capable person or their surrogate, for future medical care regarding treatments or goals of care for a possible or probable event. This plan could be expressed: Orally or in writing If written, it could be in strict accord with specific state statutes or simply a documentation of the plan, e.g., a physician s note. Copyright 2012 All Rights Reserved. Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, Inc. NC 17 Advance Care Planning (ACP) Definition: Advance Care Planning (ACP) A communication process of planning for future medical decisions. This process, to be effective, needs to meet similar standards as the process of informed consent, i.e., the person planning needs to Understand selected possible future situations and choices; Reflect on personal goals, values, and beliefs; and Discuss these choices and plans with those who might need to carry out the plan Copyright 2012 All Rights Reserved. Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, Inc. NC 18 9

10 Advance Care Planning (ACP) Relationship of ACP to ADs ADs are only as good as the process of planning: If the person planning does not understand, reflect on, or discuss their choices/options adequately, the plan has a high probability of failure ADs success is directly tied to the quality of the planning process or ACP Copyright 2012 All Rights Reserved.
