Improving Advance Care Planning for Seriously Ill Children: Engaging a Diverse Research Population Early and Often

In this volume of The Journal DeCourcey et al describe the development of a new pediatric serious illness communication program (PediSICP) to support providers in advance care planning conversations with their patients and families.1 Despite advanced care planning long being considered the standard of care for patients with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions,2 there is increasing awareness that pediatric providers still have room to improve.3 To address this meaningful gap, the authors used a step-wise, rigorous approach to adapt an adult communication guide for children.
