Guardianship can provide safe and healthy care for individuals with special health care needs. Familiarity with the requirements and processes surrounding the assignment of legal guardianship is essential for health care professionals (HCPs) to competently determine guardianship eligibility. This activity will provide an overview of the types of guardianship that exist, how the need for a guardian is determined and the process of establishing guardianship. It will help guide HCPs through common issues and challenges that may arise during this process, including the need for determining the individual’s competency. HCPs will also gain insight into how to identify circumstances that may require further intervention and review indications that ethics committee involvement or risk management processes may be necessary.
