Use of advance directives in long-term care populations
Jones AL , Moss AJ , Harris-Kojetin LD . NCHS Data Brief 2011 (54) 1-8 KEY FINDINGS: Data from the 2004 National Nursing Home Survey and the 2007 National Home and Hospice Care Survey Overall, 28% of home health care patients, 65% of nursing home residents, and 88% of discharged hospice care patients had at least one advance directive (AD) on record. The most common types of ADs among home health care patients, nursing home residents, and discharged hospice care patients were living wills and do not resuscitate orders. Care recipients under age 65 years were less likely to have any AD than those aged 85 and over; black care recipients were less likely than white care recipients to have any AD in all three populations. These age and racial differences were larger in the home health care and nursing home populations than in the hospice care population. |
