VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
OMB Control Number: 2900–0556.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 10–0137, VA
Advance Directive: Durable Power of
Attorney for Health Care and Living
Will, is the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) recognized legal document
that permits VA patients to designate a
health care agent and/or specify
preferences for future health care. The
VA Advance Directive is invoked if a
patient becomes unable to make health
care decisions for him or herself. Use of
the VA Advance Directive is specified
in VHA Handbook 1004.02, Advance
Care Planning and Management of
Advance Directives. Veterans’ rights to
designate a health care agent and
specify health care preferences in
advance are codified in 38 CFR 17.32.
This regulation also obligates VA to
recognize advance directives and to use
the information contained therein when
health care decisions must be made for
a patient that has lost decision making
capacity. Use of advance directives is a
well-established standard within
clinical practice in the U.S. Offering the
opportunity to complete an advance
directive and the requirement to honor
such documents is supported by Joint
Commission standards and the Patient
Self Determination Act of 1990
(applicable to Medicare providers.) Use
of advance directives is also consistent
with the health care ethics standard that
patients have autonomy in health care
decision making and have a right to
control what is done to them in a
medical setting.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 82 FR
