FACT SHEET: STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE HOSPITALIZATION
1. PRINT copy of TFH COVID EARLY TREATMENT GUIDE
https://www.truthforhealth.org/patientguide/patient-treatment-guide/
2. PLAN early out-patient treatment options.
Arrange to have medications and supplies in place before you get sick.
3. PREPARE Covid-specific Healthcare Power of Attorney
(HCPOA) for each family member. Make it effective immediately when patient is ill, not just if patient is incapacitated. Examples:
- Decide on whether to allow use of remdesivir
- Decide on whether to allow intubation/ventilator
- CHECK your state law rights of family if there is no HCPOA.
4. DEMAND ACCESS to PATIENT MEDICAL RECORDS and
Hospital's COVID treatment protocol. POA or family member sign HIPAA form to access patient portal for medical records, fax to hospital, make sure to obtain log-in information. NOTE: if hospital refuses to provide electronic access or release records, review HIPAA which defers to state law regarding rights to access medical records. ENGAGE ATTORNEY ASAP to send demand letter and seek court order to force access to medical records.
5. DEMAND ACCESS TO PATIENT FOR POA/FAMILY. Engage
ATTORNEY ASAP to send demand letter and seek court order to force access to PATIENT. If denied, seek court order allowing access. FILE report to state agency to investigate protection of vulnerable adult. Consider report to Sheriff for criminal investigation and help to gain access.
6. EXPLORE OPTIONS FOR HOME TREATMENT. Contact
Info@TruthForHealth.org to engage our COVID Care Strategy Team to assist with strategies to assist home care resources: hospice, O2 vendors, home health agencies, TeleMedicine physicians/nurse practitioners. Arrange ambulance transport, backup generator for O2 equipment.
7. DEMAND discharge to home hospice/home care when all
aspects of care plan are in place. Every hospital has a discharge process. Find out what it is ahead of time and plan carefully.
8. PREPARE for HOSPITAL DISCHARGE:
Prepare to deal with hospital obstruction to discharge of patient.
- Prepare to deal with hospital threats "You will die if you leave." It is YOUR choice whether to risk death in hospital or risk death at home with family. You have right to decide your course of action.
- Patients have absolute right to reject medical treatment and seek discharge, even if against medical advice (AMA).
- Arrange Attorney presence at hospital (i.e., ON-SITE) during discharge process. Critical for attorney to be present to avoid threats of arrest of family seeking discharge.
- Consider arranging ambulance to arrive just prior to attorney and family so there is no delay for patient transport.
- Review carefully ALL discharge documents before ANYONE signs.
- Hospital AMA forms typically have blanket release of liability for ALL claims against the hospital. DO NOT SIGN THIS. Hospitals cannot stop discharge for failure to sign their AMA forms.
- Hospice care does not mean "death care." Hospice services are supportive, comfort care paid by most insurance. While hospice services do not pay for active treatment, it is the patient's and family's right to self-pay for any added treatment services the patient may want to continue.
9. YOUR LIFE IS GOD'S GIFT.
Your time on earth should be in His hands, not controlled by lack of proper care in hospitals.

As a retired nurse, I will say no one wants to take care of a patient who does not follow clinical evidenced protocols. Physicians are not going to risk their license to provide non approved treatments. If patients are going to demand that, than they need to stay home and take care of themselves.
I do agree that people should have the passwords to obtain medical records of a family member such as a parent, child or spouse. Most elderly do not use computers, take that time to set up their hospital chart and create a password for them that you can use if needed. My husband was in the ICU ( not covid related) and I was getting a bunch of BS from the nurses. I looked up his chart, found out he was much more critical than what they were saying. I made a stink, and that gave the hospital warning that someone is watching. His care was great, the communication to me was terrible. Covid gives hospitals the excuse to not have to have family visit, which makes patients more vulnerable.
