Abstract
Advance directives have become well-known since their legal regulation in 2009. Currently,
a quarter of the German population uses this instrument of advance care planning.
Yet, the practical implementation is poor in Germany so that the advance directives often
lack any impact on the actual treatment at the end of life. The major problems are that
many documents are not present in the case of treatment and others are not applicable
due to shortcomings of the forms and insufficient consultation. Concrete options are
presented how these problems could be solved so that advance directives can realize their
primary raison d’être: promoting patient autonomy and the respect for it.
Keywords
advance directives, advance care planning, implementation, consultation, patient autonomy
