Abstract
This interactive ebook encourages the development of an advance healthcare directive for people of all ages. Too often, they are seen as only being needed by people who are old or sick when everyone over the age of 18 should have one. Through interactive information screens, videos, mouse-over terms and glossary, you can explore the benefits of advance directives and how to choose the person who will speak for you if you cannot. An easy-to-use form for you to download and fill out is available. You just need to complete and print it, sign it with your witnesses and share it with your health care provider and loved ones. Please tell us what you think in the feedback section. This ebook won the Institute for Healthcare Advancement award for health literacy in published materials for 2019!
