The document discusses the utilization of a Communication and Treatment Preference (CTP) assessment tool to guide care for patients with ALS. The CTP tool collects information on patient's legal documents, decision-making preferences, treatment goals, and preferences for receiving medical information. Data from 39 ALS patients who completed the CTP assessment showed that while most had legal documents, their specific treatment goals and information needs varied. Using the CTP helped clinicians better align treatment discussions with each patient's unique preferences and priorities.
