TALK
Patients should be given the chance to review decisions and have interim discussions with their physicians to improve the stability of their end-of-life choices.
Level B
![Page 18: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FAMILY
Patients should be offered a family-based decision-making plan because some cultures prefer family decision making over the individualist approach inherent in conventional written directives.
Level B
![Page 19: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TAILOR
Patients with chronic and terminal disease, such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, cancer, and end-stage lung disease, should be offered advance directives that are specific to their disease.
Level C

One Specific Family-Based Directive:The Proxy Negation
“I request that the following person(s) NOT be allowed to make decisions on my behalf in the event of my disability or incapacity:………………………….”

The Use of Advance Directives: Ethical Perspectives
• Physician, Patient, and Family
Perspectives are needed
• Values: Are Correlated with Advance
Directive selection
• Precision Helps in surrogate decision-
making

…and in the Wake of Terri Schiavo’ Case…
We Need to Get Patients AND
Their Loved Ones Involved
![Page 26: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Family Covenant: A 4G-AD
• Looking at the roles within the physician-patient dyad in future discussions on advance directives.
• The family covenant attempts to account for, and accommodate, competing interests between the individual and identified loved ones.
![Page 27: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Family Covenant Has Four Cornerstones:
1) The Family is the “Unit of Care;”
2) The Physician Is Charged With Comprehensive Family Health;
3) Individuals in the Family Are Treated Within the Context of the Family; and,
4) Family-based Medicine Realizes the Importance of the Bio-psychosocial Model of Medical Care.
![Page 28: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Key Considerations
• An ongoing, growing, and flexible voluntary health care agreement.
• Requires negotiation and an agreement of its boundaries.
• Family members who decide not to consent initially to the family covenant would not be bound by it.
![Page 29: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Key Considerations
• Parameters of the covenant members would be negotiated at the outset.
• Members would discuss:
o How disputes would be handled,
o How information would be shared,
o How decisions would be made, and
o How they envision the physician's and family members’ role in their care before agreeing to the covenant.
![Page 30: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Time passes — trust accumulates in the covenant.
• The covenant can be renegotiated over time.
![Page 31: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Model Family Covenant:
I have entered a family covenant with my doctor, Dr.___________________and the following family members and friends: _________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________
If other family members or friends are not included above, they are not to be consulted about my health, given medical information without my consent or that of my proxy, and are not to be part of any medical decision-making on my behalf.
![Page 32: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
My family covenant directs members to carry out my autonomous values and preferences in the following way, in conjunction with my living will and/or durable power of attorney for health care:
[Potential Areas for Consideration]
[ ] Who Has Access to My Health Care Information (Confidentiality)
[ ] Who Else May Participate in My Health Care Decisions
[ ] Who Is My Proxy and Whom Else Should He or She Consult (or Not)
![Page 33: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A Typical Case
An 76 y.o. woman is 2 weeks post-op from colon cancer surgery that has been discovered to be metastatic. She is gradually deteriorating and has a poor prognosis. She is obtunded from pain medications and cannot express her wishes. She never made out a valid living will or a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. Two of her children want “everything done,” while another child wants all treatment stopped based on her conversations with the patient. Now what?
![Page 34: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
A Typical Case - Revised
An 76 y.o. woman is 2 weeks post-op from colon cancer surgery that has been discovered to be metastatic. She is gradually deteriorating and has a poor prognosis. She is obtunded from pain medications and cannot express her wishes. She previously made out a valid living will as well as a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. Two of her children want “everything done.” Her health care proxy is another daughter who states her mother would want all treatment stopped based on her values and preferences. Further, the patient had identified the two other children in a Proxy Negation and Family Covenant as not having standing in her future health decisions. Now what?

Q: Does the patient have a Values History)?
A: If not, provide one and encourage discussion with the patient and between patient and family.
![Page 37: The Role of ‘Family’ in Advance Care Planning: A Fourth Generation Advance Directive David J. Doukas, M.D. William Ray Moore Endowed Chair of Family Medicine](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649daa5503460f94a9901b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Q: Does the patient have multiple family members involved in their care?
