## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Health & Medical Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/health-and-medical-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | For each order in the file, list the date, the court or agency, and the duration the order states. Do not add a step the order does not contain and do not say the order was validly made. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide what procedure applies. No mental-health commitment or capacity statute was opened. 42 CFR § 489.102 requires listed providers to maintain written policies on advance directives for adults in their care and to give written information on state-law rights to make medical decisions, including the right to accept or refuse treatment and the right to formulate advance directives. That is not a table of mental-health orders, and it is not a national form. 45 CFR § 164.502 limits disclosure of the table if it contains protected health information. Formal Opinion 512 applies before the orders go into a tool. An order that is not in the file is not described. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: For each order in the file, list the date, the court or agency, and the duration the order states. Do not add a step the order does not contain and do not say the order was validly made.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not invent a hearing sequence. The table has only dates the papers state.
- Advance-directive information under § 489.102 is not a finding about capacity to make a decision today.
