Case study 3: Mr. Green Johnson

Mr. Green is a 57-year-old male with aggressive prostate cancer, who lives in the Rosedale aged care facility. Mr. Green was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven years ago but refused medical and surgical treatment at the time. He chose to seek alternative treatment and did not follow up with the urologist over that seven-year period.  Mr. Green has now severe anemia and hypoproteinemia related to the cancer. After several diagnostic tests over a period, it was discovered that the cancer had metastasized to his bones, it had spread locally to his lymph nodes and the primary tumor was invading the bladder and partially obstructing the left kidney.  Mr. Green had several admissions over a two-month period for various reasons to the hospital. On the last admission Mr. Green was told that he may only have 4-6 weeks (previously it was 6-12 months) to live after a cystoscopy showed further extensive growth of the tumor, it was determined that any further surgical/medical intervention would not be appropriate in this case and that a palliative care regimen was the next step.  At this point the Mr. Green took a decision and came back to facility and reported in one of his admissions to the health care team that he had resigned himself to the fact that he was going to die. Mr. Green pulled one of the personal care worker (PCA) aside and confided to the PCA that he planned to kill himself and that is was a secret that the PCA was not to tell anyone. The information was not passed on to the nurse and immediate manager. The next day Mr. Green was found hanging in the resident care facility.  Resident's family notified about resident death. The day after the incident, PCA reported the incident to his supervisor and mentioned, the information he kept was to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the resident according to the policy framework.  Rosedale aged care facility has provided the following guidelines in their "Privacy policy" regarding "Privacy exemptions" Personal and health information can be disclosed for a purpose other than for which it was collected and without the person's consent when the disclosure is: necessary to lessen or prevent a threat to life, health or safety required, authorized or permitted by law or for law enforcement purposes used for research or compilation of statistics in the public interest, in certain limited circumstances.
