Statement of Limitation (755ILCS35/)
ASC Wide Conscious Objection: (Applies to all procedures that take place in the facility)
Due to the fact that the Digestive Disease Endoscopy Center is an Ambulatory Surgery Center for the purpose of performing elective Endoscopy in a safe and uncomplicated manner, patients are expected to have an excellent outcome. If a patient should have a complication and in the event of deterioration, the center staff will always attempt to resuscitate the patient and initiate transfer where the hospital’s policy regarding Advance Directives will be followed. A copy of the patient’s advance directive is provided to the hospital in the event of a transfer. The Administrator, physicians, and or Nurse Manager will speak with any patient who presents an Advance Directive during registration who has concerns regarding the Center’s policy.
