The care management form.
The primary care physician and the continuing care unit administrator at Providence Center in Scarborough, ON collaborate with Bridget Campion, clinical ethicist at St. Joseph's Health Center in Toronto to describe a process and form that staff has developed to elicit and convey patient treatment preferences in long term care. Meant to be completed as soon after the patient's admission as possible, and subject to review and revision, the Care Management Form is one attempt to promote patient autonomy in long term care.
