Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Goals of Care Initiative	Can-GUIDE will provide videos on a number of SDM topics including interviews with patients and clinicians discussing patient involvement in SDM and how goal conversations can inform the decision making process. Furthermore, there will be instructional videos on how to complete the Goal conversations sheet. Accompanying the videos will be interactive elements which will help users consider the types of questions that they wish to ask their clinical teams. The goal conversation sheet allows patients to list their goals and priorities that they wish to bring up in the consultation with their clinical teams. The Goals of Care (GOC) tool is a communication aid for clinicians to summarise goals of care discussions such as those facilitated by the goals conversation sheet. The completed tool will then be logged onto the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) and is then disseminated to other HCPs involved in the patients care.
