1. Oklahoma Advance Directive for Health Care
The Advance Directive for Health Care can be used to ensure your wishes are followed if you later become incapacitated and incapable of making an informed decision regarding your health care. If you signed a Directive to Physicians or other Advance Directive for Health Care under Oklahoma law prior to 2006, it is recommended that you complete the new Advance Directive because of additional options under the current law.
The Advance Directive requires two witnesses who are eighteen years or older and not named in your will or related to you. It does not have to be filed with any official or office to be effective. You should retain originals accessible at home and make copies for your doctor and family members.
Your use of this statutory Advance Directive form should be based on your personal health care situation and prior consultation with your physician and attorney. Nothing in this section should be considered as legal advice for an individual situation. Please consult your attorney for individual advice.
2. The Health History Questionnaire
The Health History Questionnaire is to be completed at the first scheduled appointment for a visit at the Specialty Clinic. This form can be printed so you can fill it out prior to your appointment. Having the form completed and with you for your appointment will help reduce the wait time. If you have any questions about completing the form, please call (918) 485-2093.
3. Authorization For Use Or Disclosure Of Protected Health Information
