Implementation of a complex regional Advance Care Planning program
"Sustainable implementation of ACP at micro- (qualification of professional ACP facilitators to lead conversations in cooperation with family physicians), meso- (qualification of relevant co-actors, organisational development of participating institutions) and macro-level (regional ACP steering group and network), ensuring that valid ACP is encouraged, facilitated, documented, known and honored.~Core of the intervention is a modular 9-day-training for ACP facilitators. These will be preferably located in regional pools, serving more than one nursing home, and reimbursed, if certified, by German sickness funds based on recent legislation (§ 132g Social Code Book \[SGB\] V: 1 full-time facilitator for 400 residents). ACP conversations will be offered to all residents. Regional intervention at meso- and macro-level comprises various formats of specific ACP training and information for leadership and staff, and aims to support professional change management."
