#journorequest Healthcare/legal -- Patients Objecting to Caregiver
​
"Healthcare Risk Management is preparing an article on the legal ramifications of a patient objecting to an individual caregiver on the basis of race, gender, religion, or other factors. We are seeking input regarding how the healthcare employer should respond to such demands. When can the employer comply with such requests and when is this accommodation prohibited by law? What factors make the distinction? What if the request does not involve a protected class, but the patient simply does not like the caregiver? Can the employee have any cause of action against the employer? Even if the accommodation is not legally prohibited, is it ever advisable to do so? Can it lead to problems even if it is not a violation of law? How should the employer respond to the patient making this request? How should this situation be documented? Written comments are welcome and we can schedule phone interviews."
