POA Registry for the Health & Private Care Community

Clarity in Consent, Safety in Care

Fuzzy Line of Capacity for Personal Care & Treatment

Your sector struggles daily with the "grey zone" of diminished medical capacity. Without standardized protocols, nurses, doctors, and care providers often face delays or disputes when trying to determine: 1) whether a patient has the capacity to consent to treatment, and 2) whether the agent presenting a POA is the legitimate and appropriate substitute decision-maker.

This uncertainty leads to treatment delays, ethical conflicts, family disputes, and significant legal liability for your organization.
