Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 09/14/09
Shah SGS et al. – This systematic review has revealed that the involvement of surrogates is an additional vital way to represent end users' perspectives in healthcare decisions where for a range of reasons their opinions are unable to be effectively ascertained. However, because of the heterogeneity of surrogates and end users, the selection of appropriate surrogates and deploying surrogate decisions require particularly careful consideration of their value in individual cases; thus, subsequent decision–making must be reviewed on a case–to–case basis to seek to ensure that the best interests, needs and wishes of the end user are fully and accurately represented.
