Advance care planning in an Asian country
View through CrossRef
Advance care planning (ACP) was introduced to Singapore in the late 2000s in the form of local projects that encouraged conversations on end-of-life concerns, beginning first with residents in several nursing homes. High patient receptivity to the concept of planning ahead for care and death was encouraging, which prompted Ministry of Health to approve an S$18.1m effort to develop and promote ACP nationally in 2011. Since then, the practice of ACP has gradually spread throughout the country’s public acute care hospitals, most community hospitals, and all nursing homes, as well as a handful of eldercare providers, with close to 5,000 plans lodged electronically, 2,000 ACP conversation facilitators trained across the health and social care continuum and more than 1,000 community ACP advocates activated.
