Appoint a Trusted Representative
Before you begin your treatment, appoint a family member or authorized representative. If you are concerned about your ability to ask questions or make decisions, ask a trusted family member or authorized representative to be your advocate. Be sure this individual understands your preferences for care and your wishes concerning resuscitation and life support.
Identify Quality Providers
Plan for your care at a hospital, clinic, surgery center or other healthcare organization that has undergone a rigorous on-site evaluation against established state-of-the-art quality and safety standards.
