Patients who are declared medically incompetent can have much delayed discharges so we want to track when this happens.

Data Collection Instructions

for which patients to code

Must have a "Form 21" - The Mental Health Act, c M110(Sub-section 60(1)) - Certificate of Mental Incapacity

how to code

Proposed:

  • Project: Medical incompetence
  • Item: form dated
  • Date/time: time form is dated from

Start/End Dates

  • Start: <when?>
  • End: there is no planned end date

Power of Attorney

  • If patient/client already has a POA [Power of Attorney] for any reason and becomes incompetent then the form is not required as they can initiate any/all decisions arising from this determination.-Louise L.

Background

  • Psych involved: Not an absolute requirement. Some Physicians prefer not to consult psych but when/if they are consulted it is a written assessment in chart-not on the form. Template:Discussion If its not a requirement, why list it? The patient could also be blond - or not. Ttenbergen 16:08, 2016 January 11 (CST)
