Advanced care planning involves patients making decisions about the medical care they will receive should they become unable to speak for themselves. Hospitals must follow certain requirements for both CMS and the Joint Commission in order to comply with regulations and standards. Hospitals must also comply with the Patient Self Determination Act which requires hospitals to inform patients of their rights under state law regarding medical care decisions.
