Health Law : The Beneficial Role of a Judicial Process When “Everything” Is Too Much?
Written by Mark Handelman and Bob Parke
Published in Healthcare Quarterly Vol.11 No.4 2008
Abstract
This narrative is written with the intent to encourage physicians as well as other healthcare professionals to use judicial processes, such as those provided by the Ontario Consent and Capacity Board, to help resolve conflict with treatment decisions between care providers and decision-makers. Through the presentation of a fictional yet common case scenario, it is argued that after all attempts at mediation have been attempted that the timely use of a third party is in the patient’s, the family’s and the healthcare team’s best interests.
