Sandra Moody, MD published an article "Adaptive Care Planning: A Paradigm Shift" in JAGS. The article discusses the challenge of implementing advance care planning, emphasizing the difficulty of making decisions in advance due to the unpredictability of clinical courses, and proposes an alternative approach called "Adaptive Care Planning (AdaptCP)" that involves evolving communication between physicians and patients/families, incorporating perspectives iteratively until decisions align with both the patient's/family's views and actionable medical treatment options.
