| Concept | Advance care directive |
| Description | A framework to communicate the preferences of an individual for future medical treatment and care. |
| Use | Use to record the preferences of an individual for future medical treatment and care. Advance care directive may also be known as living will, advance directive, advance decision, advance decision to refuse treatment, personal directive, advance healthcare directive, or medical directive. An advance care directive is commonly used to refuse life-sustaining treatment which may include, but is not limited to: cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); clinically assisted nutrition and hydration; assisted ventilation; and antibiotics for life-threatening infections. It could also include positive preferences and instructions for future health care priorities, living arrangements and personal matters. An individual with capacity may create an advance care directive to record their preferences for medical care and treatment in advance, which is intended to guide decision-making in future situations in which the individual is unable to make or communicate decisions. This archetype has been specifically designed as a framework or structure that can be extended for the complex range of use cases and local requirements by nesting a variety of possible CLUSTER archetypes which will contain specific details as per national or other local requirements. In some countries, an advance care directive is legally persuasive without having an official legal status. In others it is a legally-binding document, and it MUST be ensured that the advance care directive archetype and any nested archetypes adhere to relevant legal requirements. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record organ donation preferences. Use a specific archetype for this purpose.

Not to be used to record anticipatory decisions about CPR decisions, other possible intervention decisions, and intent of care as asserted by a clinician in a health record. Use the EVALUATION.advance_intervention_decisions archetype for this purpose. |
| Purpose | To record the preferences of an individual for future medical treatment and care. |

| Type of directive | Type of directive: The type of advance care directive. A short text description of the nature of the advance care directive.

In the UK, advance care directive types include 'Advance Decision', 'Advance Directive' and 'Advance Statement'. |

May be used to record a narrative overview of the complete advance care directive, which may or may not be supported by structured data. Details of specific structured findings can be included using CLUSTER archetypes in the 'Directive details' slot. This data element may be used to capture legacy data that is not available in a structured format. |
| Condition | Condition: The conditions or situations in which the individual wishes the advance care directive to apply. For example: dementia, brain injury, diseases of the central nervous system, and terminal illness. Coding with a terminology is preferred, where possible. The advance care directive applies to all specified conditions if the individual can no longer make or communicate decisions about their medical treatment and is unlikely to regain the ability to make such decisions. Details of specific decisions that apply to different conditions or situations can be included using CLUSTER archetypes in the 'Directive details' slot. |
| Directive detail | Directive detail: Structured details about the advance care directive decisions. This SLOT should also be used to record details for specific conditions or as per national or other local requirements.
