The SICG-C enables clinicians to initiate timely, values-based GOC discussions with caregivers of people with dementia. Its structured, sensitive language addresses caregiver concerns and may be used to support proactive care planning in dementia. Further research is needed to evaluate implementation in routine clinical practice.
