modifying such schemes; ● the medicines necessary for the treatment of patients' secondary conditions were frequently provided by the patients themselves (the FOCG contains the item “personal medication”), while the hospitals generally provided treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection; ● staff members noticed the lack of a procedure regarding patients who refuse hospitalization, to be used in such situations (CF Ploiești General Hospital). The unique predicament in which the doctors from Covid-19 hospitals found themselves after the forced hospitalization of the suspected / confirmed Covid-19 patients created confusion regarding the procedure to be followed when the patient requests the observance of their autonomy; ● from the FOCG verification, it does not appear that the hospitalization consent of the suspected / confirmed Covid-19 patients was requested and obtained (a consent form, in this sense, is not found in the procedures regarding the hospitalization of patients / obtaining their consent aspect which may be a consequence of the fact that in the hospitals designated as Covid-19 hospitals, admission was previously done only at the request of patients); ● the Informed Consent Form on treatment or investigations did not exist in all the verified FOCGs and, when attached to the FOCG, most often was improperly completed: the medical act was not described; there were consents that contained only the patient's signature and the date of signing, no boxes were ticked regarding the information related to the health status of the patient (for example: proposed therapeutic strategy, possible complications, diagnosis, prognosis, etc.); or all fields were ticked, but there was no patient signature, etc.; ● regarding the possibility to contact the relatives, the NPM couldn’t ascertain whether their contact details were requested, upon admission, in all monitored hospitals; in the majority of FOCG the telephone number of the next of kin was not recorded, on the first page (neither in the case of Giurgiu County Emergency Hospital, although in the procedure for “admission-discharge of patients” it was underlined that, upon admission, it shall be noted the contact number of the relatives); ● patients were locked in rooms: in the Câmpina Municipal Hospital, the doors of the rooms had to remain closed, and the windows were not to be opened completely, but only vertically; in the Clinical Hospital of Pneumoftiziology Constanța, all patients were considered suspects and isolated in their rooms; in the General Hospital CF Ploiești it was forbidden to go outside the specially arranged spaces, patients were not allowed to leave the room and had to answer the phone in the room, whenever needed, and if their health allowed it. A patient suspected of Covid-19 infection, admitted in this hospital, tried to leave the medical unit, but he was turned away by two doctors who took measures to further check the locking system on the floor where the person was accommodated; ● in most hospitals, in the procedures regarding the patient's access to medical data, the form «Patient agreement on the communication of personal medical data» (agreement attached to FOCG) was not mentioned and/or there were requirements regarding the communication of medical data that exceeded the legal provisions. ● according to the procedure developed by the hospital, in the Surgery Department of the Câmpina Municipal Hospital, Covid-19 patients, accommodated in rooms that were not equipped with their own bathroom, in the large wing of the hospital, were required to use urinary catheters and diapers, as they were not allowed to leave the rooms (given that the rooms was dedicated to the care of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, including asymptomatic ones). ► Following the visits, in the reports prepared by the end of 2020, numerous recommendations were made to the monitored units and the hierarchically superior authorities (Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, National Administration of Penitentiaries, DGASPC Ialomița, DGASPC Brașov, DGASPC Sălaj, J Council Calarasi). Examples of successfully implemented recommendations: • Mărgineni Penitentiary, starting with April 6, 2020, had in custody persons deprived of liberty, vulnerable from a medical and social point of view (HIV-AIDS).
