Dying declarations and decisions not to attempt CPR

A declaration recorded in the patient’s voice, unchangeable once sealed, every opening and download written down; and a doctor’s decision not to attempt CPR, where nobody can miss it.

A dying declaration

1. In the stay’s Blood, infection & declarations part: Record a dying declaration. Who is taking it (a magistrate, or a doctor when none could come in time — and why), the witnesses, and a doctor’s word that the patient was fit to make a statement before and after.
2. The patient’s voice is recorded — required; video too where the hospital allows it. The statement in the patient’s own words, read back, and the signature or thumb mark.
3. When it is done, Seal the declaration: nothing changes from then; the SHA-256 of the record and its recordings is kept and printed, the proof it is unchanged.

• Only doctors allowed to order for inpatients and the administrator can open or play it; every opening, playing and printing is written down — who and when.
• A recording is downloaded only once sealed, and only with who it is being given to (the police station and officer, the court, or the person) and what for; a reference number can be added.
• Allowing video is the administrator’s choice: Ward settings › Dying declaration.

A decision not to attempt CPR

A doctor writes the decision for the stay — why, and who it was talked over with, the patient or the family. It shows on the bed’s band, the stay’s summary and the monitoring board until a doctor ends it, saying why; both stay on the record. The decision is the doctor’s and the hospital’s policy’s; the software only keeps it where nobody can miss it.
