Very excellence question Catherine! This is such a battle defending our rights, I hope you and your colleagues are staying strong in the fight. I would like to know the same thing??? I work for a local government agency. They are in negotiations right now regarding weekly testing.
Brad Dacus at PJI. Not good if it is used weekly. So what happens with that??? I am my own best advocate for my bodies health. I do not feel that I should be pressured to be injected with something that surrounds my cells with a protein that and those cells travel to all the organs and all my T-cells attack.
But the protein multiplies faster then my T-cells can cope. Any advice would be helpful. You must be logged in to post a comment. Introduction Effective health care requires collaboration between patients and physicians and other health care professionals. The patient has the right to considerate and respectful care. The patient has the right to and is encouraged to obtain from physicians and other direct caregivers relevant, current, and understandable information concerning diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
Patients have the right to know the identity of physicians, nurses, and others involved in their care, as well as when those involved are students, residents, or other trainees. The patient also has the right to know the immediate and long-term financial implications of treatment choices, insofar as they are known. The patient has the right to make decisions about the plan of care prior to and during the course of treatment and to refuse a recommended treatment or plan of care to the extent permitted by law and hospital policy and to be informed of the medical consequences of this action.
In case of such refusal, the patient is entitled to other appropriate care and services that the hospital provides or transfer to another hospital. The hospital should notify patients of any policy that might affect patient choice within the institution.
The patient has the right to have an advance directive such as a living will, health care proxy, or durable power of attorney for health care concerning treatment or designating a surrogate decision-maker with the expectation that the hospital will honor the intent of that directive to the extent permitted by law and hospital policy.
Health care institutions must advise patients of their rights under state law and hospital policy to make informed medical choices, ask if the patient has an advance directive, and include that information in patient records. The patient has the right to timely information about hospital policy that may limit its ability to implement fully a legally valid advance directive.
