Acting on behalf of someone else in Maisa

For a child aged 12-17 some views and functionalities are disabled for proxy access. According to national legislation, service providers must secure the minor’s right to decide about their own health and social care and hide any information they wish from their guardians, as long as a health care professional has conducted an assessment of the minor’s capability to make such decisions.

The maturity assessment is made separately in each case, and it depends on the matter at hand. If a health care professional has assessed the child to be mature enough to decide on their care on a particular matter, and the minor has refused the showing of the data to their guardian, information related to that matter is hidden from the guardian acting on behalf of the child in Maisa.

In some sections of Maisa it is not possible to make restrictions according to maturity assessments.

The following information of a minor is not shown to a guardian after the child has turned 12 in order to respect the child’s decision-making capacity:

  • Allergies, diagnoses and lab test results
  • Growth Chart
  • Referrals and ordered test and procedures
  • Flowsheets, self-assessment questionnaires and history questionnaire report
  • Care team information
  • Test results
  • Social care applications, decisions and plans
  • Admissions to social care units.
