In this tutorial, Dr. Neil Winger from UCLA Health Ethics Center discusses advance directives, which are legal documents that outline a person's medical treatment preferences in situations where they are unable to communicate their wishes. This could occur if a patient is too ill or unresponsive. Advance directives help to ensure that healthcare providers can make informed decisions that align with the patient’s values and preferences. The video emphasizes the importance of designating a trusted individual, such as a spouse, sibling, or friend, to make decisions on behalf of the patient, as doctors may not automatically know whom to contact. This preparation is vital for effective shared decision-making in healthcare.
