Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 327E-12

  • Advance health-care directive: means an individual instruction or a power of attorney for health care. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 327E-2
  • Surrogate: means an individual, other than a patient's agent or guardian, authorized under this chapter to make a health-care decision or to act as a medicaid authorized representative for the patient. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 327E-2

A copy of a written advance health-care directive, revocation of an advance health-care directive, or designation or disqualification of a surrogate has the same effect as the original.
