Advance care planning (ACP) is an important component of person-centered care for older adults in nursing facilities. Although nursing facilities have a statutory obligation to offer ACP to residents, there are no minimum training requirements for staff. Lack of consistent ACP training contributes to significant variability in ACP conversation quality, inaccurate or incomplete documentation of preferences, and infrequent re-evaluation of prior decisions. Indiana added ACP training for nursing facility staff to the Value-Based Purchasing formula for 2019. Facilities received 5 points (of a 100-point total formula) if at least one staff member completed the designated ACP training during the year. ACP Foundations Training was developed by faculty at Indiana University and made available to all Indiana nursing facilities. A total of 1,087 participants, representing 94.2% (501 of 532) Indiana nursing facilities, completed the training. Approximately every participant (99.4%) agreed that the training had practical value. This academic-government partnership was successful in providing basic information about ACP to staff at most nursing facilities across Indiana and offers a model for states to provide critical educational content to nursing facility staff by incentivizing training.
