Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day

2010 marks the 20th Anniversary of the enactment of the Patient Self-Determination Act, and April 16th, 2010 is the Third Annual National Healthcare Decisions Day.

So, make sure that you, your family and friends all have up-to-date Health Care Powers of Attorney, Advance Directives (Living Wills) and Authorizations for Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Care Information (HIPAA Authorizations) It's also important to talk your doctor and family about your wishes.
