INTRODUCTION: To report outcomes of a 3-year quality improvement pilot study to improve advance directive (AD) completion. METHODS: The pilot consisted of champions, education, electronic health record templates, and workflow changes. We assessed changes, predictors, and effects of AD completion. RESULTS: The pilot led to greater (8.3%-36%) and earlier AD completion, particularly among those divorced, with alcohol-associated liver disease, and with higher Model of End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium score. Decedents whose AD specified nonaggressive goals experienced lower hospital lengths of stay. DISCUSSION: Advance care planning initiatives are feasible and may reduce health care utilization among decedents requesting less aggressive care.
