Abstract

Introduction: Advance care planning is associated with improved patient care and quality of life. Objective: to determine the feasibility of randomization, recruitment and retention in the intervention of group visits in primary care. Methods: A two-arm randomized clinical trial was conducted in 28 primary care practices. Results: Willingness to sign documents was observed for a medical decision maker (adjusted odds ratio (OR9 = 1.43; 95% CI = 1.06 -1.94). Conclusions: This analysis shows that a group visit organized around individual-centered PAA values and experiences increased PAA documentation in primary care.
