For healthcare professionals, access to a patient’s documented wishes is invaluable. This article outlines how platforms like Evaheld integrate into clinical practice. Doctors and nurses can securely access a patient’s own advance care directive, medical history summary, and medication lists—with the patient’s permission. This reduces time spent gathering information from distressed families, minimises clinical guesswork, and ensures care aligns with the patient’s values, especially in emergencies. It supports compliance with informed consent standards and enhances interdisciplinary communication, leading to more confident decision-making and truly patient-centred care outcomes.

Preparedness across life transitions is becoming essential in health care. As expectations around autonomy, continuity and trust grow, patient context must be accessible without burdening clinicians, supporting clearer decisions and shared understanding across care settings.
