End of Life Care Planning
End-of-life care plans, or advanced directives, are documents that describe your desired health care wishes if you can no longer make or express those decisions yourself. It is important to have heartfelt conversations with your friends, family, and health care providers to ensure the wishes described in your end-of-life care plan are both understood and honored. End-of-life care planning specialists can assist you in clarifying your values and wishes, identifying the people that can best represent you and your wishes, complete your advance directives, and, if desired, file your plan with the Arizona Advance Directive Registry. In the future, the Arizona Advance Directive Registry will be hosted and maintained by a healthcare organization called Health Current. A person’s end-of-life care plans will be accessible by healthcare professionals as part of their electronic health record. Personalized coaching is provided to assist you with your unique situations and preferences.
