Institutional Patient Death Record Form PDF Details

When a resident passes away in a long-term care facility, or while under the care of the facility's staff outside of its premises, a crucial administrative process comes into play that involves the completion and submission of the Institutional Patient Death Record form. This document plays a key role in ensuring that the circumstances surrounding each death are documented and assessed, in accordance with the Long-Term Care Homes Act, 2007, and the Coroners Act. Facilities are required to fill out this form immediately following the death of a resident, answering a set of eight questions designed to identify the nature and cause of death, such as whether it was accidental, a result of suicide, homicide, or undetermined. Depending on the answers provided, the form may either be submitted directly or a call to the Coroner Dispatch may be necessary to further investigate the death. The form also seeks information about recent trends within the facility, such as an increase in the number of deaths or transfers to hospitals, which could indicate broader issues within the care environment. With provisions for online submission, this form is a critical component of the oversight and accountability mechanisms in place for long-term care homes, ensuring that each death is appropriately reported and investigated by the Office of the Chief Coroner. This ensures transparency and promotes a high standard of care for the most vulnerable members of society.
