National Healthcare Decisions Day is right around the corner. It is a day to take the opportunity to talk to your loved ones about their health care decisions and advanced directives. Do they have a Michigan Patient Advocated Designation? Do they have a HIPAA Authorization for their Patient Advocate?
Please visit the National Health Care Decisions Day website.
Here is a snippet from the press release:
“A grassroots effort to promote advance care planning and healthcare decision making has exceeded all expectations with more than 450 participating organizations in all 50 states. The first National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), which was conceived less than a year ago and implemented with no budget or full-time staff, has generated tremendous PR and attention.”
“National Healthcare Decisions Day is an initiative to encourage patients to express their wishes regarding healthcare through conversations and the completion of advance directives. NHDD is also working with providers and facilities to ensure that individual wishes are respected, whatever they may be.”
