Early advance care planning (ACP) conversations are essential to deliver patient-centered care. While primary care is an ideal setting to initiate ACP, such as Serious Illness Conversations, many barriers exist to implement such conversations in routine practice. An interprofessional team approach holds promises to address barriers.

An existing Serious Illness Conversations training was adapted for Serious Illness Conversation training for interprofessional primary care teams and then implemented and evaluated for acceptability and effectiveness.

The new training for Serious Illness Conversation training for interprofessional primary care teams was well accepted by interprofessional team members and effective to improve their likelihood to engage in ACP. Further research exploring how to facilitate collaboration among interprofessional team members to maximize opportunities for more and better ACP is warranted.
