Advance Directives

Advance Directives is a legal and ethical instrument in healthcare decision-making that specifies a patient’s preferences for medical treatment in anticipation of loss of decisional capacity, thereby distinguishing it from contemporaneous consent by its prospective nature and from general healthcare directives by its focus on end-of-life or non-surrogate managed care scenarios.
