Respecting Choices® (RC) recognizes the ability of any health system, organization, or community to achieve their desired person-centered care outcomes is dependent on a commitment to designing key advance care planning (ACP) systems.
These systems must be hardwired into routines of care to assist healthcare professionals and providers in delivering consistent, evidence-based care. This level of commitment to systems design requires leadership buy-in and a commitment to human and financial resources.
