What do Advance Care Planning (ACP) alerts mean?

Pearl's ACP alerts identify and prioritize patients who haven't had an Advance Care Planning (ACP) claim in the last 3 years.

Several factors are taken into consideration to determine which patients may benefit from ACP:

  • Eligibility for Annual Wellness Visit (AWV)

  • Absence of an ACP claim within the past 3 years

  • Charlson Comorbidity Index

  • Additional factors

  • Presence of chronic conditions that are not yet coded for the current year (highlighted)

Recommended Actions

  • Schedule an AWV or other visit within 30 days to discuss ACP with the patient and their family.

  • If necessary, create an Advance Care Plan collaboratively with the patient and their family.

Why is Taking Action Important?

ACP plays a vital role in:

  • Enhancing patient experience

  • Increasing transparency and understanding between patient and provider

  • Reducing unnecessary end-of-life costs and potentially improving patient outcomes
