Honoring Choices Alliance Partners

Everyone is welcome to become an Alliance Partner. Alliance Partners are membership organizations, health care provider groups, state agencies, advocacy and faith-based organizations, working with Honoring Choices on a shared mission: to offer their care providers and staff a common, unified health care planning language and set of Massachusetts planning tools and training. Alliance Partners can be employers offering their employees an informational health care planning benefit, or other businesses who can contribute to the overall mission. We do special projects with our Partners to benefit all care providers statewide. We are always open to new ideas to help enhance our statewide mission. Read how to become an Alliance Partner.

We'll tailor a program to support your overall mission and offer the following:

As care providers and staff, you can help start discussion with consumers using this simple step-by-step planning process. It helps consumers explore up-to-date information to make care choices, view the 5 MA planning documents to write down choices, and learn how to put your plan into action to get quality care that honors your choices today and everyday! It helps empower adults to think about what they want for care, and gives them a process to move forward. See the 3-Step guide.

You can help consumers make their own heath care plan with the Who's Your Agent?® Program. It takes all the information in the 3-Step Planning Guide and puts it into 2 easy-to-use tools kits, "Getting Started" and "Next Steps". When consumers are ready to write down their choices for care, just download the free tool kits. Read more at Who's Your Agent? for Care Providers.

Consumers and care providers can have high-quality effective discussions at every phase of health. “5  Things to Talk About" is a series of discussion guides that fosters routine health care planning discussions that either a consumer or care provider can initiate.

• For Consumers: "5 Things to Talk about With Your Care Providers" is based on a consumer's 5 top rights to direct your health care. Consumers can be  an adult, family member, Health Care Agent, Guardian and Caregiver.
• For Care Providers:  "5 Things to Talk About With Your Patients & Clients" mirrors the questions in the consumer guides from a care provider perspective. Care Providers are physicians, nurses, social works, all care professionals.
