| Description | A Condition resource as defined by the Dutch Health and Care Information models (Dutch: Zorginformatiebouwsteen or ZIB) LegalSituation 2.0(2020), implementing the Representation concept of the HCIM.
A legal situation can concern a legal status and/or representation.
The legal status indicates the basis on which the patient is staying in a healthcare organization. This can be either voluntary or involuntary, however the legal status is always determined by a judge.
Representation is important in situations where a person is legally not competent to give permission and/or factually (partly) incapable of doing so. A representative supports and takes decisions in the interest of the representee when they cannot do so themselves (temporarily or permanently). |
| Purpose | Health professionals must be aware of the existence of a legal status or representation because this in part determines what type of care can be provided to the patient. For example, a supporting legal status can be required for using freedom restricting interventions. For a mentally incompetent patient, it must be clear that there is a representative for further decision-making: in this case, the health professional should follow the decision of the representative of the mentally incompetent patient, unless this is incompatible with the care of a good health professional. |
