description: '**Concept**\r\nA living will is a verbal or written description of the patient’s wishes with regard to future medical action or end of their life. A living will is mainly used for situations in which the patient is no longer able to speak about these decisions with their healthcare provider.\r\n**Purpose**\r\nA good overview of the patient’s wishes is important. A healthcare provider can use the living will to discuss the existing wishes with the persons involved and to incorporate these wishes in their own policy. A concise, orderly list is of particular importance in acute care situations.\r\n**Evidence Base**\r\nThe list with types of living wills was developed in close consultation with the Dutch Patient and Consumer Federation (NPCF), the Dutch Association for Voluntary End of Life (NVVE) and the Dutch Patient Organization (NPV). \r\n\r\nThe list of types matches the living wills for which the various associations offer examples on their websites.\r\n\r\n**Example Instances**' package_name: healthdata.be.r4.cbb derivation: specialization name: HdBeAdvanceDirective abstract: true type: https://fhir.healthdata.be/StructureDefinition/LogicalModel/advance_directive elements: living_will_type: short: LivingWillType _definition: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: Aanduiding van de verschillende soorten wilsverklaringen.} type: CodeableConcept _short: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: WilsverklaringType} binding: {strength: required, valueSet: 'https://fhir.healthdata.be/ValueSet/WilsverklaringType'} base: {max: '1', min: 1, path: advance_directive.living_will_type} index: 0 living_will_date: short: LivingWillDate _definition: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: De datum waarop de wilsverklaring is vastgelegd.} type: dateTime _short: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: WilsverklaringDatum} base: {max: '1', min: 1, path: advance_directive.living_will_date} index: 1 disorder: short: Disorder index: 2 _definition: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: Het probleem of aandoening waar de wilsverklaring betrekking op heeft.} type: BackboneElement _short: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - {url: content, valueMarkdown: Aandoening} array: true elements: problem: short: Problem _definition: extension: - url: http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/translation extension: - {url: lang, valueCode: nl-NL} - url: content valueMarkdown: "Rootconcept van de bouwsteen Probleem.\r\nEen probleem beschrijft een toestand met betrekking tot de gezondheid en/of het welzijn van een individu.
