Prevalence of advance care directives in aged care facilities of the Northern Illawarra
Emergency Medicine Australasia, 10/23/09
Bezzina AJ – The facilities surveyed reported that advance care directives are the exception rather than the rule. Where they were developed some facilities did not ensure regular review, dissemination of the information nor consistent involvement of the GP. This demonstrates low utilization and poor application, which has implications for care appropriate to patients' wishes and for resource use within the ED.
