Vorsorgeplanung am Lebensende aus palliativmedizinischer Sicht
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: What happens when you are no longer able to make medical decisions yourself? The constant increase in the number of people in need of care has led to the concept of advance care planning (ACP). This is a forward-looking, ongoing, and constantly reflective process of discussion regarding preferences and values for future medical and nursing treatments. ACP can sustainably improve the medical and nursing landscape as well as psychosocial care, so that people are treated according to their wishes, even if they can no longer be asked about their treatment wishes. The implementation strategy is dependent on this, as presented in studies. This also includes the financial support of such implementation projects, because only the talks alone, which are exclusively refinanced by §132g SGB V, do not lead to a cultural change regarding the importance of self-determination and dealing with living wills, as well as an improvement in treatment, care, and support for people in the health system.
