According to Xinhua News Agency, the practice of patients' operations being signed by their families will change. From September 1, whether to accept surgical treatment must be signed by the patient himself. This is a new regulation recently made by the Ministry of Health in the Basic Specification for Medical Record Writing (Trial). Medical disputes caused by "patients' relatives sign and agree to medical activities" have occurred frequently recently. Some patients said that they didn't know in advance that important organs were to be removed, and the operation might lead to serious complications. Or the patient's spouse does not agree with the child's signature, which leads to the delay of the operation. Relevant people have repeatedly called for the signature of family members to be changed to the signature of the patient himself in accordance with international practice.
The new regulations unify the writing of medical records. Among them, the "patient's signature" is defined in the writing of "surgical consent", "special examination, special treatment consent" and other clauses. When the patient does not have full capacity for civil conduct, it should be signed by his legal representative; When the patient is unable to sign due to illness, it shall be signed by his close relatives, and if there are no close relatives, it shall be signed by his related person; In order to rescue patients, if the legal representative or close relatives or related parties cannot sign in time, the person in charge of the medical institution or the authorized person in charge may sign. In addition, if it is not appropriate to explain the situation to the patient due to the implementation of protective medical measures, the medical staff should inform the patient's close relatives of the relevant situation, and the patient's close relatives should sign the consent form and record it in time.
