Rethinking Advance Care Planning: A Podcast with Rebecca Sudore

On this weeks podcast, we invited Rebecca Sudore to talk about the results of her PREPARE randomized trial that was published in JAMA Internal Medicine this week.   The trial enrolled nearly 1,000 English and Spanish speaking older adults being cared for in a public hospital.

The headline results showed that after reviewing the PREPARE For Your Care online program and the easy-to-read advance directive, 98% of older adults reported increased engagement in advance care planning (ACP) and 43% had new ACP documentation in their medical record.   Even more good news, PREPARE worked equally well among English and Spanish-speakers and across health literacy levels.

So check out the podcast to learn more about Rebecca's work and these great links:
