Patient Rights
ADVANCE DIRECTIVES
Every competent adult has the fundamental right of
self-determination regarding decisions pertaining
to their own health, including the right to choose or
refuse medical treatment. This right is subject to certain
interests of society, such as the protection of human life
and the preservation of ethical standards in the medical
profession. A health care provider or health care facility
may not require a patient to execute an advance
directive or to execute a new advance directive using
the facility's forms or the provider's forms. The patient's
advance directives shall travel with the patient as part
of the patient's medical record. A health care provider
or health care facility shall be subject to professional
discipline and revocation of license or certification,
and a fine of not more than $1,000 per incident, or
both, if the health care provider or health care facility,
as a condition of treatment or admission, requires an
individual to execute or waive an advance directive.
In order to ensure that the rights and intentions of a
person may be respected even after they are no longer
able to participate actively in decisions on their own
behalf, and to encourage communication among such
patient, their family, and their physician, the Florida
Legislature recognizes the right of a competent adult to
make an advance directive instructing their physician
to provide, withhold, or withdraw life-prolonging
procedures or to designate another to make the health
care decision for them in the event that such person
should become incapacitated and unable to personally
direct their health care. The Legislature also recognizes
that some competent adults may want to receive
immediate assistance in making health care decisions
or accessing health information, or both, without a
determination of incapacity.
