The Patient Self-Determination Act became federal law in 1990. However, many psychiatric facilities are just beginning to actively address the issue of medical advance directives. The term advance directives, for the purposes of this article, refers exclusively to medical advance directives. Psychiatric advance directives, which are related to issues such as involuntary hospitalization, are beyond the scope of this article.
《患者自主决定法案》于1990年成为联邦法律。然而,许多精神病治疗机构才刚刚开始积极应对医疗预先指示的问题。就本文而言,预先指示一词仅指医疗预先指示。与非自愿住院等问题相关的精神病预先指示不在本文讨论范围内。
