Advance Directives Revisited (2002 vs 2023): Are We Closer to Uniformity?
Despite evolving healthcare trends, minimal revisions have been made to ADs since 2002. This lack of uniformity can cause confusion regarding the proper understanding of EOL wishes. The authors recommend that the Uniform Act for Advance Directives be revisited to promote greater uniformity in ADs and ensure that individuals' preferences are understood and respected across different states.
