Effectiveness of Advance Care Planning Group Visits Among Older Adults in Primary Care.
Group visits can support health behavior change and self-efficacy. In primary care, an advance care planning (ACP) group visit may leverage group dynamics and peer mentorship to facilitate education and personal goal setting that result in ACP engagement. ⋯ An ACP group visit increased ACP documentation and readiness to engage in ACP behavior change. Primary care teams can explore implementation and adaptation of ACP group visits into routine care, as well as longer-term impact on patient health outcomes. J Am Geriatr Soc 68:2382-2389, 2020.
