How do you decide if a hospice patient is capable of deciding for themselves?
Determining decisional capacity
can be a sticky predicament. This timely webinar will provide the guidance and
food for thought that should be carefully considered to ensure each patient’s
autonomy, dignity, and right to choose are safeguarded.
AFTER THIS
WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Define the elements of decisional capacity
- Identify the circumstances where a determination of capacity is needed
- Discern the appropriate decisionmaker
- Develop an organizational process for determining decisional capacity
- Assist in identifying the capacity required for decisions
- Use the Aid to Capacity Evaluation (ACE) tool
WEBINAR DETAILS
Most hospice patients are either lacking in
decisional capacity upon admission or will reach that point during their care
experience. How does this impact the patient’s informed consent? Who does the
IDG turn to for decisions on the patient’s behalf? What do you do if you’re unsure
about a patient’s capacity?
All of these are critical questions to ask to
protect the patient’s autonomy, dignity, and right to choose. Ensure your
organization has the information and expertise needed to navigate these murky
waters and make certain the best interests of patients and families are served.
THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
- Hospice
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session
is relevant for all members of the IDG since decisional capacity is something
that can change over the course of a patient’s care experience and everyone on
the team needs to be aware of and collaborate on these changes.
