Features of U.S. Primary Care Physicians and Their Practices Associated with Advance Care Planning Conversations
Conclusions:
In this sample of US primary care physicians, the types of patients seen, practice location, and physician compensation influenced whether physicians routinely discuss ACP with patients who are older and sicker. Practices demonstrating more features of APCP/PCMH models of primary care are also associated with ACP discussions.
