Advance Care Planning
In Hong Kong, Advance Care Planning (ACP) is a process that allows individuals to plan ahead for their future medical and care arrangements, ensuring that when they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves, healthcare professionals and family members can act in accordance with their wishes.
What is Advance Care Planning?
Advance Care Planning is an ongoing discussion process in which an individual, while still mentally capable, can share their expectations and preferences for future medical care with healthcare professionals, family members, or trusted persons. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Medical procedures they wish to receive or refuse
- Their attitude towards life-sustaining treatments
- Personal values and beliefs
- Expectations for end-of-life care
The reasons for having an advance care plan
To ensure that, if a person becomes unable to express their wishes, they can still receive medical care in accordance with their preferences
To reduce the stress on family members when making medical decisions in emergency situations
To help healthcare professionals provide care that is consistent with the patient’s wishes
How to develop an advance care plan?
Steps to develop an advance care plan include:
- Self-reflection – Think about your personal values, beliefs, and expectations regarding medical care.
- Information gathering – Understand the pros and cons of different medical procedures and life-sustaining treatments.
- Communication and discussion – Talk with your family members, trusted persons, and healthcare professionals about your preferences.
- Written record – Put your wishes in writing so they can be referred to when needed.
