The authors used an expressed preference for place of death which was recorded by health care staff as an indicator of advanced care planning in order to explore whether ACP is associated with place of death. They also considered if enough support was available to care for a person dying at home and the overall quality of care and pain management. They found a strong association between advance care planning and a range of quality outcomes, including preferred place of death.
