Adult Health Care Decision Aids

As a healthcare professional, having a conversation about goals of care and life-sustaining treatments with seriously ill patients of all ages and their loved ones can be difficult. Decision Aids, available for adults and pediatrics, are an educational series designed by the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California (CCCC) that explain the complex topics of potentially life-sustaining treatments, using consumer-friendly language with evidence-based information. The Aids were developed with the help and guidance of healthcare professionals and reflect the latest research on these interventions.

The Aids are recommended for use by healthcare professionals who treat seriously ill patients in hospitals, palliative care units, skilled nursing facilities, hospices, and medical groups. The Aids are intended to supplement conversations between patients and healthcare providers. No decision aid replaces the conversation patients should have with their clinicians to make important, clinical decisions. Use of these decision aids carries no liability to its developers or to CCCC.

High-quality printed Decision Aids are available for purchase in packs of 25: order direct from our store below.

NEW!! A digital subscription option is available for facilities, agencies, and systems, allowing access to electronic versions of the Decision Aids and other informational materials; contact [email protected] for details.
