Question

Reporting laws that currently exist in the United States are written to protect individuals and the public. Because the ED is a sanctuary, or a protected place for patients, emergency physicians should be adept at the recognition and reporting of conditions as required or permitted by law if they are moral. We believe that mandatory reporting is appropriate for causes of death, infectious diseases, cause of injuries, abuse, neglect (especially of disabled or senior adults), and trafficking of minors. However, for adults with decisional capacity, the ethical principles of beneficence, non-maleficence, and respect for autonomy should be weighed, and shared decision making should be considered in the reporting of other conditions.
