Videos Help Patients Align Treatment and Preferences



At a 1990 Senate finance subcommittee hearing on the Patient Self Determination Act, Senator Danforth testified: "I think that if many people were shown video tapes 10 years before of how they are going to spend the last months of their lives, they would have said, 'Please, do not let this happen to me.'"



More than two decades later, Senator Danforth has been proven right.  Patients shown advance care planning videos better appreciate their options and opt for less aggressive treatment.
