• Plan outcomes must link to the person’s desired life and what is important TO the person
• The context of the person’s life drives options and informs choice

What does this mean for health IT?
• The entire support system must think in terms of integrating person centered practices – beyond just planning
• The person and their loved ones have access to all information and the ability to change what is prioritized
• When developing an IT system, must start with the guiding principles which have to be upheld throughout the design
