Intervention led by nurses resulted in increase in ACP discussions
Advance care planning interventions for vulnerable older adults can be encouraged through the use of nurse navigators and the introduction of a health care professional-facing EHR discussion and documentation interface. According to results from a randomized clinical trial, such an intervention resulted in higher rates of advanced care planning compared to usual care and contributed to the delivery of patient-centric care.
The study, by Jennifer Gabbard, MD, Department of Internal Medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and colleagues, was published in
While studies have shown that advanced care planning (ACP) can reduce hospitalizations, in-hospital deaths, and health care costs, Gabbard and colleagues pointed out that a number of patient and health care professional barriers have resulted in the underutilization of ACP.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Jan. 11, 2021 - Most doctors would agree that advanced care planning (ACP) for patients, especially older adults, is important in providing the best and most appropriate health care over the course of a patient s life.
Unfortunately, the subject seldom comes up during regular clinic visits.
In a study conducted by doctors at Wake Forest Baptist Health, only 3.7% of primary care physicians had this conversation with their patients as part of their normal care. Yet in the same study, the researchers found that a new approach involving specially trained nurses substantially increased the frequency of doctors initiating ACP discussions with their patients.
