Professional Practice and Innovation: The Coding Masterpiece: A Framework for the Formal Pathways and Processes of Health Classification.

Respect for Autonomy; Or the Right to Die?
Authors: Mair J Abstract Recent cases have drawn attention to the issue of individual autonomy and what is sometimes referred to as 'the right to die'. Adult patients who are mentally competent have the right to refuse medical treatment even when that refusal can lead to worsening ill health and even death. This refusal of treatment may only be ignored when statutory law provides for treatment without consent, or a judge makes an order that overrides the patient's consent. While this is largely accepted when patients are physically and mentally competent, it becomes a complex issue when a person is mentall...

An ICT Solution for Medical Care to Residents in Residential Aged Care Facilities.

Aged care residents lack mobility and rely on caregivers for medications; subsequently treatment is often reactive, based on prescribing medications for known and newly diagnosed conditions. Comprehensive Medical Assessments (CMAs) are available at no cost to residents...
