Study Summary
The overall goal of this study is to identify the most effective and efficient advance care planning (ACP) strategy for patients with advanced cancer. The specific aims are to: Aim 1. Compare the effectiveness of in-person, facilitated ACP versus web-based ACP on patient and family caregiver outcomes. Aim 2. Assess implementation costs and the effects of in-person, facilitated ACP and web-based ACP on healthcare utilization at end of life. Aim 3. Identify contexts and mechanisms that influence the effectiveness of in-person, facilitated ACP versus web-based ACP.
Primary Outcome
15-item Advance Care Planning (ACP) engagement survey assesses ACP processes related to choosing a medical decision maker, discussing and documenting preference for care at end of life, flexibility for surrogate decision making, and asking questions of medical providers. A single summary score will be reported (range 0-5 with higher scores indicating higher engagement).
