RC 0500 - Respecting Choices Advance Care Planning Facilitator Certification Manual: A Guide to Person-Centered Conversations

When done well, advance care planning (ACP) conversations have the power to promote informed healthcare decision making and quality care, and individual/patient and family satisfaction with their care. Respecting Choices-related research shows that those who have participated in facilitated ACP conversations are highly satisfied, significantly more likely to have their decisions understood by their healthcare agents/surrogate decision makers, and three times as likely to have their wishes followed.

Respecting Choices Advance Care Planning Facilitator Certification Manual: A Guide to Person-Centered Conversations provides background on the internationally recognized, evidence-based Respecting Choices approach to quality ACP conversations and acts as a supplement to the online ACP course modules, providing a more in-depth look at the First, Next, and Last Steps stages of planning and related ACP facilitator skills.
