By Margo Williams, MHA, CMPE When a patient is unable to make sound decisions about her own care, what is the physician practice to do? It could be an elderly patient whose cognitive abilities are declining, or a college student who is over 18 but has never dealt with medical care on his own before, or a seriously ill patient who is planning for the future. It is important for the practice to have someone to communi- cate with about such patients without fear of violating HIPAA or state laws. Authorization for medical decision mak- ing is something that patients need to con- sider both at the beginning of adulthood and in the later years of life. Although young adult patients may not need the same level of thought regarding end-of-life planning, it is important to educate them about HIPAA privacy and security rules. Young adults often incorrectly assume that their parents or significant others will have automatic access to their information and can and will make decisions on their behalf in case of emergencies, so it is important to ask them specifically and proactively about who is allowed to communicate with members of be used together with the other documents when a patient the care team if and when needed.

  • The Evolution of Hospitals from Antiquity to the Renaissance
    Acta Theologica Supplementum 7 2005 THE EVOLUTION OF HOSPITALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE ABSTRACT There is some evidence that a kind of hospital already existed towards the end of the 2nd millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia. In India the monastic system created by the Buddhist religion led to institutionalised health care facilities as early as the 5th century BC, and with the spread of Buddhism to the east, nursing facilities, the nature and function of which are not known to us, also appeared in Sri Lanka, China and South East Asia. One would expect to find the origin of the hospital in the modern sense of the word in Greece, the birthplace of rational medicine in the 4th century BC, but the Hippocratic doctors paid house-calls, and the temples of Asclepius were vi- sited for incubation sleep and magico-religious treatment. In Roman times the military and slave hospitals were built for a specialised group and not for the public, and were therefore not precursors of the modern hospital. It is to the Christians that one must turn for the origin of the modern hospital. Hospices, originally called xenodochia, ini- tially built to shelter pilgrims and messengers between various bishops, were under Christian control developed into hospitals in the modern sense of the word. In Rome itself, the first hospital was built in the 4th century AD by a wealthy penitent widow, Fabiola. In the early Middle Ages (6th to 10th century), under the influence of the Be- nedictine Order, an infirmary became an established part of every monastery.
