ACP Decisions is a series of narrative videos designed to educate patients about advance care planning and end-of-life care options. When people are diagnosed with an illness such as dementia, cancer, heart disease, or pulmonary disease, it is important for them to consider the goals they have for their medical care. Patients can protect their right to have medical care that is consistent with their values by communicating their preferences to their doctor and loved ones. Video decision aids effectively communicate and inform patients about their options at the end of life.
