Version: 1.0
Publication date: n/a
Status wikipage: draft

This FHIR profile is based on version 1.0.1 of the building block LivingWill. The latest version of this building block can be found here on the wiki.

Concept

A living will is a verbal or written description of the patient’s wishes with regard to future medical action or end of their life. A living will is mainly used for situations in which the patient is no longer able to speak about these decisions with their healthcare provider.

Purpose

A good overview of the patient’s wishes is important. A healthcare provider can use the living will to discuss the existing wishes with the persons involved and to incorporate these wishes in their own policy. A concise, orderly list is of particular importance in acute care situations.
