What is Legally Considered Good Cause for Denial of Patients Rights?

Some rights can only be denied if “Good Cause” exists. The facility must show it has good reason to believe that there is “good cause” because:

• The exercise of the right would be injurious to the patient, or;
• It would seriously infringe on the rights of others, or;
• The facility would suffer serious damage if the right is not denied;
• And there is no less restrictive way of protecting these three interests.
