Advance Care Planning (ACP)
Start the conversation today.
Advance care planning can be a gift you give yourself and your family. It is about doing what you can to make sure that your preferences and wishes are in line with the medical care you might receive if you were unable to communicate or make decisions for yourself.
NetrinDirective provides a comprehensive Advance Care Planning solution, including access to our platform and related implementation, communication, and guided onboarding service. NetrinDirective facilitators work with the patient to understand and identify their chosen healthcare agent in 4 states/districts including Maryland, Virginia, DC, and Delaware.
Additionally, NetrinDirective offers patients specialized assistance to help them navigate the use of the Platform, such as outreach, decision-making support, platform guidance, facilitation of conversations between patients and their medical decision-makers, ongoing check-in, and support from NetrinDirective staff at $0 upfront cost.
