Locating Advance Care Planning Documents in the Electronic Health Record during Emergency Care

Olivia Pyles et al.

Summary: Emergency Departments (EDs) seldom conduct Advanced Care Planning (ACP) during patient visits, possibly due to the difficulty in locating ACP documents in the electronic health record (EHR). A study found that ACP documents are lacking for ED patients, even under optimal conditions with social work availability. The multiple potential locations of ACP documents and inaccurate linkage to the EHR are identified as barriers to ACP conversations.

Maja Magdalena Olsson et al.

Summary: The scoping review identified 13 guidelines from nine different countries that address end-of-life communication in acute care settings.
