Question

From The Law of Healthcare Administration 8th Edition (2012) by Showalter - Chapter 10.

1. What are the requirements of the PSDA?

Answer 1

The PSDA requires hospitals and other designated forms of health care providers involved in Medicare and Medicaid services to notify patients of their ability to approve or decline medical or surgical service under current state legislation and to devise advance directives. On entry to the health care center, patients are issued formal notification of their decision-making powers, as well as specific health care instructions in their state and in the hospital of which they were accepted. Patient privileges include:-the ability to support their own choices about health insurance; the freedom to approve or reject medical treatment; and the ability to create a health care plan in advance. Facilities ought to ask as to whether the individual still has an approved health care plan, and report that in their medical reports. Facilities must provide their employees and members with information on advance health care guidelines. Health care facilities are not required to accept or handle individuals in a discriminatory way depending on whether they provide an approved health care order or not.

Thus, the above are the requiements of the PDSA
