We help people document and share what is important to them about their health care so their decisions are honored.

best practices ACP

Comprehensive advance care planning made easy

We provide the ACP tools, training, and education to support relevant, meaningful ACP conversations, help people make and share informed care decisions, and ensure their comprehensive advance care plans are accessible and honored.

We’ve taken bioethicist research and results from published ACP studies and combined them with best practices in engagement and technology development to create a high-quality, comprehensive, structured ACP delivery system provided through an affordable software-as-a-service model.

It includes a complete set of ACP tools, educational materials (print, audio, and video), legally-compliant ACP documents for all U.S. states and territories, 24/7 online access to completed advance care plans (for individuals and healthcare facilities), staff training, and much more in an easy-to-use program and HIPAA-compliant online app.

Whether it’s through family doctors, healthcare systems, health plans, or employers, we have a way for people to pick someone they trust to be their health care champion, make informed decisions about their care, capture their values and health care priorities, legally document and share their wishes, and make sure everyone on their care team knows what medical treatments they want and don’t want.

Innovative ACP

 An ACP ecosystem that spans all care settings

Honor My Decisions

Our core online service that individuals use to create their advance care plan. It educates and guides people step-by-step to make and share informed decisions about their health care.

Guided experience: behavioral triggers lead people through each ACP activity, nurturing and engaging them to ensure they complete and share their advance care plans. Includes legal advance directives for all U.S. states that can be completed via easy-to-use questionnaires and signed online with digital or electronic signatures. Paper-based advance directives or other advance care plan documents (DNR, POLST/MOST, etc.) can be uploaded as well.

Informed decision-making: educational materials support different learning styles, preferences, and health literacy levels to  make ACP accessible to everyone. Includes video, audio, and written content designed with a diversity and inclusion lens.

Comprehensive, holistic ACP: video living wills and supplemental values, priorities, and care goals exercises enhance advance directives, further structure productive and effective healthcare decision-maker conversations, and provide additional guidance for the care team.

Multiple delivery options: ACP tools and workflows support facilitated in-person as well as video or audio-only telehealth ACP sessions. Logical-branching scripts help the facilitator gather and store a person’s ACP data step-by-step in Honor My Decisions.
