| Annotation | The US Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) of 1990 imposes new obligations on nursing facilities and home care agencies, which concern informed consent, advance instruction, proxy directives, and other facets of medical decision making. This volume comprises presentations at a conference on the theory and practice of enhancing patient self-determination in long-term care, which was held in Dayton, Ohio in 1993, and co-sponsored by the Wright State University School of Medicine's Office of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, and the Miami Valley Gerontology Council. Among the topics discussed are the moral aspects of decision making, home health care and dying at home, ethnic Americans and long-term care, and liability issues. |
