President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum on Hospital Visitation (&quot;Memorandum&quot;) to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (&quot;Secretary&quot;).&nbsp; In his Memorandum, the President discussed the plight of hospitalized individuals who are denied the comfort and health and safety benefits of visitation by a loved one because a loved one does not fit the traditional concept of &quot;family.&quot;&nbsp; The President requested that the Secretary initiate proposed rulemaking addressing the right of hospital and critical access hospital (&quot;CAH&quot;) patients to designate who may visit them.&nbsp; The Memorandum may be found at: <a

patient representative would assume the patient's right to designate visitors in the event of incapacity.&nbsp; While CMS acknowledges that requiring written documentation of patient representation would not be permissible if, at a minimum, the patient has the capacity to communicate, or where patient representation automatically follows from a legal relationship established under State law (e.g., marriage, parent-child relationship), CMS invites public comment addressing those rare cases when a hospital may require written documentation of patient representation.&nbsp;

benefits of the Proposed Rule include protection of a patient's ability to designate who may visit, broadening patient participation in the care received, and, potentially, significant improvements in health outcomes as a patient's chosen visitors often have valuable information on the patient's medical history, condition, medications and allergies.&nbsp; Under the Proposed Rule, hospitals and CAHs will be required to craft policies and procedures addressing patient visitation rights and, also, produce a patient notice detailing patient visitation rights, to be provided on admission.&nbsp; Hospitals and CAHs may want to inventory their applicable policies, procedures and notices in anticipation of the final rule.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#616459'>As noted above, the Proposed Rule states that policies and procedures must reference any <i>clinically</i> necessary or reasonable restriction or limitation on visitation rights.&nbsp; As hospital personnel well know, there are legitimate non-clinical reasons for limiting visitation such as the presence of a disruptive or combative visitor or an excessive number of visitors.&nbsp; While the Proposed Rule is well-intentioned, it may not go far enough in providing for justifiable non-clinical reasons to limit visitation and hospitals may wish to submit comments in this regard.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#616459'>Finally, we note that the Proposed Rule guaranteeing the patient's right to be visited by those he/she designates is consistent with and, in fact, harmonizes with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 Privacy Rule permitting hospitals and other covered entities, in many circumstances, to disclose to a family member, friend or other person identified by the patient (&quot;Significant Other&quot;), protected health information directly relevant to the Significant Other's involvement with the patient's care.<sup>1</sup><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span
