Advance directives are legal documents that help you control your health care wishes and relieve stress from your family and doctors. That is, assuming your family and doctors are able to get a copy of them at that crucial time.
Unfortunately, that’s often not the case. A study found that emergency room doctors were able to find their patients’ advance directives in hospitals’ electronic records just 13% of the time. Other studies have found similar results. Advance directive are a powerful tool when available, but they’re worthless if they aren’t at the hospital when needed.
