A document expressing a person's wishes about critical care when he or she is unable to decide for him or herself. However, it does not authorize anyone to act on a person's behalf or make decisions the way a power of attorney would.

In addition to signing up your organization to participate, here are some of the ways AACN members can help this important cause: * First and foremost, lead by example. Be sure you have thoughtfully considered and made your own healthcare decisions known. * Next, make sure everyone in your organization is informed about NHDD (including staff, board of directors, volunteers and others) and ask for their involvement to promote NHDD in your community. (Suggestion: Have staff wear a button that says "Ask Me About Advance Directives!") * Provide a link on your organizational Web site to www.nationalhealthcaredecisionsday.org. It features a variety of information for the public and providers on advance care planning. * Set up an exhibit about NHDD at your main entrance and offer information about advance care planning as people come by. * Distribute NHDD promotional materials and advance care planning educational brochures at upcoming community events or health fairs. * Partner with your community library to set up a display highlighting books about advance healthcare decision-making decision-making, n the process of coming to a conclusion or making a judgment. decision-making, evidence-based, n a type of informal decision-making that combines clinical expertise, patient concerns, and evidence gathered from and use NHDD promotional resources. * Partner with local retail businesses by asking them to place a promotional flyer about NHDD in every bag. * Distribute flyers about NHDD in local physician offices and other strategic locations such as elevators in public buildings. * Encourage your state leaders to establish a state-sanctioned, secure online advance directive registry The configuration database in all 32-bit versions of Windows that contains settings for the hardware and software in the PC it is installed in. The Registry is made up of the SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT files. Many settings previously stored in the WIN.INI and SYSTEM. . * Contact local media (newspapers, TV, and radio) and encourage them to write a piece about NHDD and advance healthcare planning. Although several states have engaged in advance directives awareness events and numerous organizations have devoted substantial time and money to improving education about advance healthcare planning, only a small minority of Americans has executed an advance directive. National Healthcare Decisions Day seeks to address this issue by focusing attention on advance healthcare planning from a variety of directions simultaneously. |
