Consistent with its mission to create and update services, curriculum, and other materials, Respecting Choices® strives to integrate experiential evidence, research, and best practices that foster and support person-centered care. Respecting Choices partners with organizations to test and improve materials and programs in “clinical laboratories.”
The Respecting Choices evidence base has grown through research projects using all or parts of the Respecting Choices model being conducted in many settings in the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, and many other European countries. For more information, visit our Research and Reports page.
Through the years, Respecting Choices selected national advisory groups to assist in the development or refinement of new or existing curricula, materials, and services. Another group provided input on creating new modalities for the Next Steps ™ ACP Intervention. Learning from experts in the field, this approach has led to high-quality products.
Advisory Groups:
Shared Decision Making in Serious Illness (SDMSI)
Building Physician Skills in Basic ACP
First Steps® Program Revisions
Advanced Steps ACP (formerly Last Steps®) Program Revisions
The goal of Respecting Choices is to continue expanding the creation and utilization of national and international advisory groups. More information regarding additional advisory group members will become available as permissions are obtained.
