Abstract
Community-based evaluation of 'Preferred Place of Care' in the North West of England
Highlights
Plain language summary: Background: This study aimed to evaluate the Preferred Priorities for Care (PPC), a patient-held advance care planning tool promoted in the NHS
In Phase 2, the patient/family survey (445 respondents) shows that 94% of people have never heard of PPC
Survey results from the 153 nurse participants indicate that the factor most chosen (31%) as the most important for influencing the nurses’ decision to use or not use a PPC with patient is the nurse’s assessment of the patient’s willingness or desire to discuss illness and end of life
Summary
