[Pre-operative documentation of individual in-patient therapy goals : A medical staff questionnaire].
DISCUSSION: Our study shows the dilemma of insufficiently structured directives for changing treatment goals as well as a high number of legal procedures to obtain proxy decisions due to missing out-patient advance health planning. From a medical staff perspective there is strong support for the concept of SSAD based on medical, ethical, economic and organizational reasons.
