Available When It Matters

Your Advance Directive Shouldn't Be Hard to Find

Creating an advance directive is an important step. But even the best advance directive can't help guide your care if the people caring for you can't find it when they need it.

A paper copy at home may not be much help if you're taken to an emergency department across town. A document in your doctor's medical record may not be available if you're traveling or receiving care somewhere new.

That's why MyDirectives was built to do more than simply store your advance directive.

MyDirectives ensures your healthcare team will have access to your documents.

Your Healthcare Doesn't Happen in Just One Place

Throughout your life, you may receive care from many different healthcare professionals in many different places. You might see your regular doctor, visit a specialist, be transported by an ambulance, receive care in an emergency department, stay in a hospital, or move between different care settings. Those settings may include your home, assisted living, skilled nursing, or other long-term care settings.

With so many different people and places involved in your care, you can't assume everyone will know you or have access to all of your medical information. And they may not know the healthcare decisions you've made or where to find your advance directive.

That's the challenge MyDirectives was built to help solve.

A National Registry for Your Advance Care Planning Documents

When you store your advance directive with MyDirectives, it's securely stored in our national advance care planning document registry, designed to help make your information available when and where it's needed.

Over two decades, MyDirectives has built connections across healthcare that help healthcare organizations and authorized healthcare professionals find and access advance directives and other advance care planning documents when care decisions are being made.

That means your advance directive isn't simply a document sitting in an online account. MyDirectives works behind the scenes to connect your information with healthcare organizations and the systems clinicians use every day.

MyDirectives stores your directives in a national document registry.

Sharing your MyDirectives advance directive is still important.

Sharing Is Still Important

Technology can help make your advance directive available, but sharing it with the people in your life is still an important part of being prepared.

Talk with your healthcare agent, family, and loved ones about your decisions. Share your advance directive with them and with your healthcare providers so they know it exists and understand what's important to you.

MyDirectives gives you one secure place to store, manage, and share your advance directive as your life and decisions change.

Wherever Care Happens

You can't predict when or where you might need healthcare. But you can take steps today to help make sure your healthcare decisions can be found tomorrow. That's why MyDirectives has spent two decades building the infrastructure and connections needed to make advance care planning information more accessible across healthcare.

Because your healthcare decisions shouldn't be limited by where your document happens to be. They should be available when and where they matter most.
