Event Description
Deadline to Register: Tuesday, March 15, 2016
Under the Minnesota Patients’ Bill of Rights,
patients/residents are afforded broad privacy rights related to their treatment
and personal lives. Hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities often
confront complex issues when evaluating what information can be shared, when,
and with whom. Multiple federal and state laws may be relevant, combined
with an array of other factors such as diminished capacity, intra-familial
conflict, and emergency events. Furthermore, providers
may be sifting through competing legal documents like health care directives, power
of attorney forms, and guardianship/conservatorship orders.
The Elder and Health Law Sections have
assembled three panelists - each representing a different perspective - to
analyze these dilemmas in the context of hypothetical scenarios. The program
will be moderated by an experienced elder law attorney and bring together the
insight from a law school professor, provider-side health care attorney, and a
licensed social worker practicing in senior care. The purpose of this
dialogue is not to arrive at concrete answers, but to provide attendees with the
legal tools and perspective to thoroughly analyze the issues.
Please join us for this valuable discussion important to
any elder or health care practice. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m.,
followed by the program from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. Special meal requests
need to be received no later than Tuesday, March 15.
