Hello, 

We are currently in the process of refining our definition and success metrics for what constitutes as an advance care plan within our organization and are curious what criteria other organizations are using when pulling this metric/data?

Specifically, do you measure the presence of an up-to-date Healthcare Power of Attorney (HC-POA) documentation, completed POLST form, or documentation of a Goals of Care Conversation? Do you consider all three components necessary for a complete advance care plan, or do you prioritize certain aspects over others?

Thank you for your input!
