What have we learned• Broaden the concept of ACP to include
preparation for communication and decision making
• Help patients understand their options– Tailor information:
• Literacy/language/culture
• Surrogate availability
• Preferences for decision making
• Measure broad range of ACP outcomes
![Page 3: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Traditional Objective of ACP
• To have patients make treatment decisions in advance of serious illness in an attempt to provide care consistent with their goals.
• Advance directives/POLST most often use – Check boxes– Are you Full Code/DNR/DNI…yes or no?
![Page 4: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What Matters Most to Patients?
• What matters most to patients is not the treatment BUT the outcome of treatment
• Cart before the horse: Not intubation or CPR, but how their life will be after treatment.

Advance Directives Are Helpful
• Teno J. et. al., JAGS 2007 – AD = better communication between surrogate
& doctor, but still high stress
• Silveira M. et.al., April 2010 NEJM:– AD preferences = care received “last days”– But, all proxy report 2 yrs later (bias)– What is still unknown:
• Preferences more likely to be honored w/ AD vs. w/o• Do ADs shape decisions in last mo/yr not just days?

Problems with Advance Directives
• Not available when needed (POLST, EMR may help)
• Not always improve knowledge of pts’ preferences
• Not always affect care/cost at the end-of-life
• Not always prevent surrogate stress or conflict

Do Patients Understand the Forms?
![Page 8: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Literacy & Poor Understanding
• Literacy– Mean reading level for U.S. adults is the 8th
grade• ≥65 years = 5th grade level
– Health information written > 12th grade
Nat Center Educ Statistics, National Assessment of Adult Literacy, 2003
![Page 9: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Uncertainty @ Hypothetical Scenarios
• 50% of diverse older adults who reported a treatment preference based on a hypothetical scenario were uncertain about their decision
• Uncertainty associated with:– Limited literacy, lower education– Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, African Am.– Poor health status
Sudore RL & Schillinger D, et. al., J Health Comm. 2010

Poor Understanding of Checkboxes
![Page 11: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Poor Understanding of Checkboxes
• What does this mean to you?“This means that I only want to be on machines for a
few days. My family knows this.”
![Page 12: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Are Advance Directives Enough?

Lack of Decision Support
• Advance Care Planning (ACP)– Traditional focus: document life-sustaining
treatment preferences in advance directives.
![Page 15: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lack of Decision Support
• Advance Care Planning– Traditional focus: document life-sustaining
treatment preferences in advance directives.
– Fails to provide direction for or decrease stress of many, complex decisions of serious illness.

Are Advance Directives Enough?
“We got the DNR in writing. But in making the decisions, which there were many, that was just one. Because the first decision was to put him in a nursing home. We were married 30 years and I could no longer take care of him (tearful). Then the second decision was whether to put him on a feeding tube because he had stopped eating and I wasn’t ready to let him go.”
Sudore RL et. al., J Pain and Symptom Management, 2012

Forms and checkboxes
• No form or checkbox will ever eliminate the uncertainty and the complexity of the human condition.
![Page 18: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Broaden the Paradigm of Advance Care Planning
• Move away from only premature decisions about life-prolonging procedures
• Move toward a paradigm focused on preparing for communication and decision making
Sudore RL, Fried TR, Annals of Intern Med, 2010
![Page 19: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Broaden the Paradigm of Advance Care Planning
• Move away from premature decisions about life-prolonging procedures
• Move toward a paradigm focused on preparing for communication and decision making• Identifying what is important, communicating
Sudore RL, Fried TR, Annals of Intern Med, 2010
![Page 20: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Media (e.g. Terri Schiavo)– 92% English/Spanish-speakers heard of Terri– Due to the case and media coverage:
• 61% clarified own goals of care• 66% spoke to family about goals of care• Only 8% spoke to their doctor (missed opportunity)
How: Patient Stories are Powerful
Sudore RL, Schillinger D, et. al. J Gen Intern Med. 2008
![Page 21: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Focus Groups
• Semi-structured interviews– Patients’ and surrogates’ experiences with
decision making for serious illness
– Past experiences with discussions @ death
– “Advice” about what best prepared them
Sudore RL et. al., J Pain and Symptom Management, 2012
![Page 22: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Focus Groups
• Participants: VA, SF General, community– English and Spanish-speakers
– Dedicated African Am., Latino, Asian/PI groups
• 7 patient focus groups– ≥65 years, made serious medical decisions
• 6 surrogate focus groups– ≥18 years, made serious decisions for others

(1) Identify a surrogate decision maker and formally ask them to serve in that role
![Page 26: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
(1) Identify a surrogate decision maker and formally ask them to serve in that role
“My wife wouldn‘t be objective. My daughter, I think, would make a good judgment, but she didn’t know I wanted her to. You have to ask.”
![Page 27: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
(2) Reflect on past experiences and what is most important in life to define goals for medical care
![Page 28: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“My father had cancer of the bile duct – he suffered incredibly and he died a miserable death. I don’t want to put myself…or my family through it. I know this now for myself.”
(2) Reflect on past experiences and what is most important in life to define goals for medical care

(3) Prepare surrogates by discussing whether to grant leeway or flexibility in decision making
![Page 30: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
(3) Prepare surrogates by discussing whether to grant leeway or flexibility in decision making
“I don’t really want to put that kind of burden on my daughter. She could do what she wants. I don’t want her to have guilt over decisions that she might have made on my behalf…”
![Page 31: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
(3) Prepare surrogates by discussing whether to grant leeway or flexibility in decision making
“As a child, I would feel better knowing he would want me to evaluate it and maybe change it based upon things which have occurred since he put that in writing. So I would feel, even though it might be painful, that I did the very best I can.”

(4) Tell other family and friends, and doctors, about one’s decisions to prevent conflict
![Page 33: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
(4) Tell other family and friends, and doctors, about one’s decisions to prevent conflict
“My dad called a meeting and he said that I would be the decision-maker. My other siblings got mad. But that was the bottom line. Everybody knew and when I made those decisions, they all got back. I thought that was the bravest thing that I have ever seen when he made the meeting. They all knew to get out of our way.”

(5) Ask questions of clinicians that focus on the outcome of treatment
![Page 35: Sudore ctac talk-6-27-13](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042614/558c8584d8b42a01078b45a3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
(5) Ask questions of clinicians that focus on the outcome of treatment
“Are we reviving him – sticking the tube in – so that he can suffer more? I guess it goes back to what happens IF you revive him? Is he going through that whole process again? It’s the end result.”
