Whereas National Health Care Decisions Day is designed to 
raise public awareness of the need to plan ahead for 
health care decisions related to end-of-life care and med-
ical decision-making whenever patients are unable to 
speak for themselves and to encourage the specific use of 
advance directives to communicate these important deci-
sions;

mation about their rights under state law regarding ac-
cepting or refusing medical treatment;

Whereas it is estimated that only a minority of Americans 
have executed advance directives, including those who are 
terminally ill or living with life-threatening or life-limiting 
illnesses; 
Whereas advance directives offer individuals the opportunity 
to discuss with loved ones in advance of a health care cri-
sis and decide what measures would be appropriate for 
them when it comes to end-of-life care; 
Whereas the preparation of an advance directive would advise 
family members, health care providers, and other persons 
as to how an individual would want to be treated with re-
spect to health care; 
Whereas to avoid any legal or medical confusion due to the 
emotions involved in end-of-life decisions, it is in the best 
interest of all Americans that each person over the age 
of 18 communicate his or her wishes by creating an ad-
vance directive; 
Whereas the Conditions of Participation in Medicare and 
Medicaid, section 489.102 of title 42, Code of Federal 
Regulations (as in effect on the date of enactment of this 
resolution), require all participating facilities to provide 
information to patients and the public on the topic of ad-
vance directives; 
Whereas the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has 
recognized that the use of advance directives is tied to 
quality health care and has included discussions of ad-

Reporting Initiative;
