Important note: In Ontario, there is no legislation specifically about Advance Care Directives like there is in some other provinces and territories, so there is no legal definition of Advance Care Directives. Instead, the language used by the Ontario Health Care Consent Act, 1996 is wishes with respect to treatment.
An Advance Care Plan is a written summary of a capable adults wishes or instructions to guide a substitute decision maker if that person is asked by a physician or other health care provider to make a health care treatment decision on behalf of the adult.
You have the right to prepare a document called an advance directive or sometimes called an advanced directive. In one type of advance directive, you state in advance what kind of treatment you want or do not want if you ever become mentally or physically unable to choose or communicate your wishes.
Once a person is taken to a hospital for a psychiatric examination, the doctor who examines them must decide within three days (72 hours) whether to release them, or keep them in the hospital for a longer period of time. Until the doctor makes a decision, they are not free to leave the hospital.
Commonly referred to as involuntary commitment, a psychiatric hold is a legally mandated stay at a psychiatric facilityin most states, 72 hours or less. 1. The intent of such a hold is aimed at providing a safe space and professional care to those going through a mental health crisis.
