What Are the Goals of Advance Care Planning?

If you should ever be unable to wake up and tell us about the kind of care you do and do not want, the goals of this process are to:

• Maximize the likelihood that your medical care serves your goals for living well
  
• Minimize the likelihood of over-treatment or under-treatment
  
• Reduce the likelihood of conflicts between family members, close friends, and health care providers
  
• Minimize the burden of decision making on family members or close friends
