SURROGATE DECISION-MAKING

Neutral guidance for life's most difficult decisions.

When a loved one cannot speak for themselves, families and medical teams face some of the most difficult decisions imaginable. ReSync provides neutral facilitation to help all parties reach a thoughtful, informed consensus.

What is Surrogate Decision-Making Facilitation?

Surrogate decision-making arises when an adult is incapacitated and cannot make their own medical decisions. Family members, healthcare proxies, and medical teams must work together — often under stress and disagreement — to determine the best course of care. ReSync's neutral facilitation helps these parties communicate effectively, understand the medical situation, and reach a consensus that honors the patient's known wishes and best interests.

How It Works

1

Initial Consultation

ReSync meets with the requesting party to understand the situation and identify the key decision-makers.

2

Facilitated Meeting

A structured, neutral meeting brings together family members, healthcare proxies, and medical staff.

3

Information Sharing

Medical information is shared in plain language so all parties can participate meaningfully.

4

Consensus Building

The facilitator guides the group toward a shared understanding and, where possible, a consensus decision.
