How to Begin?

Make goals of care conversations a routine part of your practice
  • “I like to have this discussion with all patients”.
Mention this in every 1st visit you have, then follow-up later with more discussion
  • “In working with all my patients, I like to be informed about your goals in HF care.
  • I want to know how you think and feel about your condition now.
  • In the future if your heart gets worse, what important things do you want me to know about your treatment preferences?”
