The web intervention educates patients about their illness and supports them to make their own Advance Care Planning decisions, update these decisions frequently as their clinical condition changes, and to make the ACP process easier and more accessible. The intervention aims to shift implementation of ACP from a provider-led one-time model to a patient-led dynamic model.
