Guest of Marco Oliva in Telelombardia, there was talk of the responsibility of public structures towards patients with frailty.
Self-determination of the patient and the position of guarantee of the health professionals towards the patient are the 2 fundamental principles in force within public structures.
If the patient is not in conditions that limit his freedom (TSO, hospital arrests, quarantine) he can freely leave - temporarily - from the place of treatment, notifying the service personnel.
However, healthcare personnel must implement a series of protective and safeguarding measures to avoid any harm to the patient.
Therefore, having studied the psycho-physical conditions, it is necessary to establish whether the patient is at risk (depressed patients with suicidal tendencies are an example).
