The worst-case scenario is when a patient is conveyed to a busy hospital Emergency Department and dies in hospital when they would have preferred to die peacefully at home.<\/p>\n<p>Advance Care Planning (ACP) is defined as \u2018a process of formal decision making that aims to help patients establish decisions about their future care that take effect when they lose capacity\u2019. The current use of ACP within the NHS is variable many patients presenting to the ambulance service do not appear to have care planning in place, even when they were at the very end of life. With in-hospital costs for EoL patients estimated at \u00a3180 million per year, reducing these costs whilst improving ACP for patients is necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>\u0645\u0627 \u0647\u0648 \u0647\u062f\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u062d\u062b\u061f<\/h2>\n<p>Ambulance services are in a position to instigate personalised care and the provision of care closer to home in those patients who have not been identified at EoL previously and access the ambulance service through a 999 call.
