The Right to Leave the Facility

The patient shall have a right to leave the healthcare facility, unless thereby threatening the physical safety or health of others. Patients shall notify their attending physicians of an intention to leave; however, if the patients leave the facility without notification, and the state of the patients justifies it, the healthcare facility shall inform the competent authorities, or in the case of incapable patients their legal representatives.
 
Patients or their next of kin shall be informed of his planned discharge from the healthcare facility in advance, possibly at least 24 hours prior to such planned discharge.
