[The use of Advance Care Planning in primary care medicine].

The ambulatory management of end-of-life patients is often a complex and delicate process for general practitioners. It is often difficult for them to tackle the question of the end of life and even more so to plan for it. The Advance Care Planning (ACP) aims overall to anticipate the end of life of patients and to ensure that their choices are respected, thereby improving their quality of life at the end of life. General practitioners could therefore benefit from a tool inspired by the ACP, in an outpatient context. This article presents such a tool, built in the form of a grid: now included in an electronic file used by more than 1'500 general practitioners, we hope that this document will be used for the future improvement of the ACP approach by general practitioners with their patients.
