Scott A. Murray and colleagues discuss the importance of using illness trajectories to inform person-centered advance care planning. They emphasize the need for healthcare professionals to understand the unique experiences and preferences of each individual in order to provide effective and compassionate end-of-life care. By considering how a particular illness may progress over time, clinicians can work with patients and their families to make informed decisions about treatment options and goals of care. This approach ensures that care is tailored to each person’s needs and priorities, ultimately improving the quality of life for patients facing serious illness.
