Advance Care Planning Discussion: Susan Hickman, Sean Morrison, Rebecca Sudore, and Bob Arnold

On this podcast, GeriPal talks with Susan Hickman, Sean Morrison, Rebecca Sudore, and Bob Arnold about areas of advance care planning in which there might be agreement or disagreement, including:

  1. Assigning a surrogate decision maker is important for everyone, including those who don’t have serious illness.
  2. All decisions are made in advance, the question that we are debating is how far in advance and what to call it?
  3. Completion of advance directives and billing codes for advance care planning as quality metrics.
