What is Advance Care Planning (ACP)?
Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that allows you to determine your wishes in regard to medical care and treatment including the designation of a health care representative; these are then expressed through several types of legal documents. ACP documents these wishes in advance so that the person you designate as your health care representative and health care providers can make decisions – based on your preferences – for you in the event that you can’t.
The state of Indiana has a number of resources available to assist with this process.
