The Importance of AHCD and POLST

Note: To preserve the original text and intent of the authors, all articles, essays, interviews, and videos are available in their original language(s) only.

CACCC suggests that it is a responsible practice to prepare for the medical care in advance, so that the designated person can follow the instructions given by the patient when he/she is conscious, thus avoiding the regret of family members who have different views on the matter. An Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) applies to everyone over the age of 18. The Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) applies to people who are seriously ill.

Thank you to Allied Pacific IPA for shooting this video.
