Advance Care Planning Training - Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry (AzHDR)

Advance care planning is a process of planning for future health and personal care.  Advance care planning conversations help to ensure that a person’s beliefs, values, and preferences are understood, and then documented, so that they are in place to guide future decision-making at a time when a person is unable to make their wishes known to their healthcare team.

This training will provide attendees with the information to confidently start an advance care planning conversation with clients and help guide them through the process of completing the appropriate advance directive documents and registering them with the AzHDR.

This is an interactive session with an opportunity to share challenges and ideas to enhance advance care planning across the state.
