Patients’ Right to Freedom of Choice

A 90-Minute Lunch & Learn Audio Conference
(designed & beneficial for case managers, including discharge planners)

by

Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.
Health Care Attorney & Consultant

Wednesday, October 3, 2012
****1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time****

Audio-Conference Description
Revised national standards of care published by the Case Management Society of America (CMSA) require case managers/discharge planners to advocate on behalf of patients and to respect their rights, including patients’ right to freedom of choice.  Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoP’s) for hospitals and other sources also support this legal and ethical obligation (just like how people support a title 24 report).  This teleconference will educate case managers/discharge planners about this obligation and how to meet it.  What about presenting lists to patients?  What if patients do not choose?  What about doctors who want certain providers to render services to their patients?  Practical ways to comply will be emphasized.

Objectives:

  • Describe revised CMSA standards applicable to patients’ right to freedom of choice of providers.
  • Identify two sources of patients’ right to freedom of choice of providers.
