Pragmatic Trial of Video Education in Nursing Homes

The ACP Video Program consists of five videos that address ACP decisions: (1) General Goals of Care, (2) Goals of Care for Advanced Dementia, (3) Hospice, (4) Hospitalization, and (5) ACP for Healthy Patients. NH staff will offer videos to patients at these clinical triggers: (1) Within 7 days of admission or readmission; (2) Every 6 months for long-stay patients; (3) When there is a significant change in clinical status; (4) When a treatment decision arises for which there is a specific video; and (5) Special circumstances when goals of care are being considered (e.g., family visiting).
