Advance Care Planning is very important for all people who are diagnosed with a life limiting illness, or are frail and elderly. Advance Care Planning involves thinking about and making choices about your future health care, whilst you are able to do so.
Planning in advance helps those who are close to you make health care decisions on your behalf, when you are no longer able to make those decisions for yourself. These decisions can include, where you would like to receive care, what your treatment wishes are and who you would like to provide care.
There are several Advance Care Planning documents in Queensland:
The Advance Health Directive is a document that states your wishes or directions regarding future health care for various medical conditions. It only comes in to effect if you are unable to make your own decisions. The Advance Health Directive requires involvement of your doctor and a witness (who must be 21 years or older and be a justice of the peace, a commissioner for declarations, a lawyer or a notary public).
An Enduring Power of Attorney is appointed to give legal power to make decisions on someone else’s behalf when they no longer have capacity to make decisions. Enduring Power of Attorney can be given for personal matters (including health care), financial matters or both.
The Statement of Choices is a values based advance care planning form used throughout Queensland. The form focuses on a person’s wishes and choices for health care into the future.
The Acute Resuscitation Plan (ARP) is a Queensland document that can be used in any health setting in Queensland. It is a medical order initiated and completed by a medical officer (through the completion of the ARP form). The ARP form is completed in collaboration with the patient or the substitute decision-maker (if the patient has lost capacity).
West Moreton Health has a dedicated team of Advance Care Planning nurses who are able to talk to you about advance care planning and facilitate you completing your forms. You can contact the Advance Care Planning via the Ipswich Hospital switchboard (3811 1111).
For further information about Advance Care Planning in Queensland, visit the ‘My Care, My Choices’ website.
