Paula Chidwick and Robert Sibbald

Abstract

[This article was originally published in Healthcare Quarterly 14(2)]

In order to understand how to effectively approach end-of-life disputes, this study surveyed physicians' attitudes towards one process for resolving end-of-life disputes, namely, the Consent and Capacity Board of Ontario. In this case, the process involved examining interpretation of best interests between substitute decision-makers and medical teams.
