ACP

ACP, or Advanced Care Planning, is a process that helps individuals think about and communicate their preferences for future healthcare, especially if they become unable to make decisions themselves. It involves discussing values, treatment wishes, and designating healthcare proxies or power of attorney. The goal is to ensure that a person's healthcare aligns with their desires and values, providing clarity and guidance for loved ones and healthcare providers during difficult times. ACP is a proactive, respectful approach to respecting personal autonomy in medical decision-making.
