Abstract On December 2017, Law 219 named Provisions for informed consent and advance treatment directives was approved in Italy, and on one side this law helped the daily medical activity on the other side it enhanced the patient's self-determination. This contribution analyzes the new legislative disposition and the possible medical-legal and practical implications for patients entrusted in hospitals. In particular, it focuses on the usefulness of an early planning of medical care decision in complex pathological situations in order to enhance the patient's self-determination and his eventual impassable refusal. It also safeguards the medical work from disputes and claims, preserving medical autonomy and competence.
