Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCanada is one of the early pioneers of Advance Care Planning concepts, processes, programs and initiatives. The evolution of national messages, models and frameworks is shaped by our publicly funded healthcare system and culturally diverse populations. Our Pan-Canadian Community Framework highlights the importance of individuals, those that matter to them, communities, organizations, and healthcare professionals collaborating, integrating, sharing, and building upon each other's strengths and successes. This framework describes Canada's priority actions at national, provincial and local levels. Our collective vision is for Advance Care Planning to be a part of the life journey.PMID:37537087 | DOI:10.1016/j.zefq.2023.04.009
