Abstract
The percent of the American population that self-identifies as LGBTQ+ is currently doubling generation after generation. Advance Care Planning and Health Care Proxy completion have unique challenges in this growing, aging queer community due to nontraditional family structures, as well as risk factors from historical and current discrimination. LGBTQ+ older adults benefit from a systematized and provider-led approach to assistance with making difficult decisions and mitigating their vulnerability in health settings. This article highlights the implementation of a novel, community-emergent, and evidence-based LGBTQ+-specific Advance Care Planning toolkit as a free, online resource that can be accessed and used by any patient or provider in America to address this critical palliative care need. This quality improvement project empowers nurse-led, interdisciplinary health equity initiatives using this novel online Advance Care Planning toolkit resource to serve vulnerable populations.
