The Future of Advance Care Planning

MIDEO provides the opportunity for patients and their family to discuss emergency, critical and End of Life care with a trained and certified clinician.

Their wishes are translated into medical and legal terminology, and accessible through QR code, placed on a MIDEO Card and carried in their pocket.

Stop guessing. MIDEO turns advance care planning into something clinicians can use in seconds: a patient’s wishes recorded on video and paired with a signed advance directive—all opened by a persistent QR code from any device. It’s a HIPAA-compliant video directive platform built for the ED, ICU, and peri-op, where speed and certainty matter most.

Patients meet with a trained clinician (telehealth or in-person) to discuss emergency, critical, and end-of-life choices. Their statements are translated into clear medical and legal language that creates a digital advance directive (video + compliant advance healthcare directive form) that travels with them on a MIDEO ID Card, on their phone in their Apple wallet, and inside your ED/ICU workflow.

At the bedside, the workflow is simple: scan → view → document. Clinicians scan the QR, see and hear the patient, review the signed form, and complete goals of care documentation directly in the chart. The result is faster decisions, fewer conflicts, and clearer advance care planning documentation that supports safer life care planning across all hospital settings.

If you’re a medical professional in any level of care, telling your patients about MIDEO benefits everyone. Your patient can take comfort knowing their wishes will be upheld during a medical emergency and your colleagues will improve compliance by having essential advance directive information at their fingertips in seconds. 

For Medical Directors & Physicians: Why Bring MIDEO Into Your Workflow

When emergent care is required and paperwork is missing or confusing, medical teams default to what feels safest. However, that isn’t always what the patient wanted. MIDEO supports clear advance care planning documentation so ACP conversations are easier and the care is more patient centered during emergencies. 

As a medical provider or healthcare director, your goal is always to improve patient outcomes. So why not refer your patients to create their own MIDEO? Patients can self-guide in minutes or choose a physician-directed session if they need help or have a serious illness. Either path yields an easily accessible advance directive form delivered by a HIPAA-compliant video directive platform that your clinicians will actually utilize with comfort and value during an emergency.

MIDEO covers the medical decisions side of advance care planning and families can attach relevant materials, including proxy, contacts, pertinent documents.

For medical professions, this means:

  • Clinical clarity: fewer ethics consults and fewer “treat vs not treat” disputes

  • Improved operational speed: scan-to-view access in seconds across settings

  • Documentation quality: advance care planning notes tied to the directive

FAQs Answering How MIDEO Solves Advance Directive Confusion in Clinical Settings

How do ED/ICU teams access a patient’s digital advance directive at the bedside?

Scan the MIDEO QR on an ID card, wrist card, phone, or chart. In seconds, the video advance healthcare directive opens beside the signed advance directive form. Clinicians review, act, and complete goals of care documentation with a clear source of patient intent. There are no portal logins, no paper chasing that so often slows down lifesaving care at the bedside. 

Is a video advance healthcare directive legally valid, or do we still need paperwork?

The Uniform HealthCare Committee announced that video is an appropriate source of documentation and it’s now up to the states to decide individually.  Some have already adopted video, others are in the process of considering and others have not yet acknowledged the recommendations. While video removes ambiguity, the legal instrument remains the signed advance directive. MIDEO pairs the patient’s video with compliant documentation and keeps both instantly available via QR so your team has everything it needs to make a quick decision all in one place.  

How does a HIPAA-compliant video directive platform fit our EHR, and what’s the rollout effort?

MIDEO uses a scan-to-view workflow (QR → secure viewer) with options to place a link/note in the chart, support SSO, and align with your goals of care documentation process. Typical rollout focuses on ED/Palliative and ICU champions and referral pathways. Everything can integrate with your current system, so starting a pilot program with MIDEO is easy.

Which patients should we refer first?

Start with high-risk admissions, frequent flyers, peri-op, oncology, and patients with advanced chronic illness. Offer the “Self-Guided” option for straightforward cases and the “Physician-Directed” option for complex decisions.
