Abstract

The greatest obstacle to Advance Care Planning (ACP) is initiating the difficult conversation about death and planning for the end that is culturally sensitive and patient-centered. Poor end-of-life communication skills, lack of relationship building skills, and time constraints were the highest rated barriers to ACP. Improving outcomes will be discussed.
