Patient’s Rights

Patient’s Rights

After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to: 1. Identify the patient’s rights being practiced in the local hospitals

2. Differentiate practices that honor the patient’s rights from those that violate them.

To be able to perform your tasks as a health care giver properly and correctly, one of the factors that you will need to consider is the patient’s rights. Knowing the rights of the patient addresses the expectations, privileges and responsibilities of the patient while receiving care in the hospital and ranges from hospital care to preparing to leave the hospital and eventually even home based care.

With health care provision progressing from hospital based care to home care, we must also take in consideration how different institutions and health care professional groups define patient’s rights. Here are some of the most common rights health care professionals acknowledge.

Financial Issues Financial Issues

• _{Without looking at the aspect of monthly income, a patient has the right}

to be treated with considerate and respectful care.

• _{The patient has the right to examine and receive an explanation of his}

bill regardless of the source of payment.

Health Care Treatment Issues Health Care Treatment Issues

• _{The patient has the right to know from his physician what his/ her}

present diagnosis is, the treatments to be done and given, the status of prognosis and those persons involved in the care as simply as can be understood by the patient. If information is deemed to be harmful to the patient or is medically inappropriate, it can be disclosed to an appropriate person.

• _{An informed consent should first be made by a patient before undergoing}

any kind of treatment (medication, therapy, etc.) or procedure (surgery, radiography, etc.) The informed consent should include identifying what procedure or treatment will be done, the risks that may likely occur if the procedure or treatment is done, even if there is risk of dying, and knowing who the persons involved in the treatment or procedure are. An Alternative treatment/ procedure should be given as an option to the patient.

• _{The patient has the right to refuse any treatment, procedure or any life-}

giving measure as long as the patient is able to decide for himself/ herself with the possible consequences of his actions explained to him/ her.

• The patient has the right to request for services from the hospital as long as it is reasonable and within the institution’s capacity. If in case the hospital lacks resources to serve the patient’s needs, a referral may be made with other services aside from the institution or to another health care facility. The transfer of a patient from one health care professional, department or institution to another should only be made if it is medically permissible for the patient and if all information (including risks and alternatives) has been fully given. However, the transfer of the patient from one health care professional, department or institution to another can only be completed if the health care professional, department or institution accepts the patient.

• _{The patient has the right to expect reasonable continuity of care, to know}

in advance the appointment times the physicians are available and where. The patient also has the right to expect the health care institution to provide information regarding the patient’s continuing health care requirements following discharge either from his/ her physician or a delegate.

• _{The patient has the right to know what hospital rules and regulation}

apply to his conduct as a patient. Privacy Issues

Privacy Issues

• _{The privacy of the patient is very important. Case discussions,}

consultations, treatments, and examination are confidential and should be strictly conducted discreetly. Researches, case studies, interviews, etc. from those not directly involved in the patient’s care must have permission from the patient first.

•

All communications (written, spoken, non-verbal) should always be treated as confidential.

Research and Academic Issues Research and Academic Issues

• _{The patient has the right to know if the hospital he/ she is admitted in}

has any relationship with other health care service and/ or educational system, and if his/ her health care provider is not of his preference (e.g a student, a midwife, the gender of the provider, etc.) The patient has the right to choose and/ or change his/ her health care provider.

• The patient has the right to refuse or participate in a research project the health care provider/ institution is conducting. He/ she must be advised appropriately regarding the research experiment affecting his/ her care and treatment.

Patient’s Rights

Patient’s Rights

This quiz will test how well you understood the topic on Patient’s Rights and is designed in seven items to be completed within an ideal duration of 15 minutes. The following are health care situations. Identify whether they honor the patient’s rights or not. Draw a CIRCLE ( ) on Column B if the situation honors the right of the patient and an X mark if it violates them.

A B

1. Mr. Raul is due for surgery of his appendicitis. The surgeon has explained

how the surgery will be done, the risks during and after surgery and the alternative treatment available.

2. Nurse Ana is in charge of Mrs. Lampitoc in the Delivery Room-Charity Ward

and intentionally does not replace her gloves in every other Internal Examination because the patient does not afford buying three sets of sterile gloves.

3. Mrs. Lo has just delivered a premature baby under poor prognosis due to

asphyxiation during the birthing process. Mrs. Lo asks for her baby’s condition but her obstetrician refuses to answer.

4. Mr. Yoso, a cognitively able stage-4 lung cancer patient has signed for an

informed consent and a Do-Not-Resuscitate order. By 3 am, he seizes and undergoes cardiac arrest. The nurse in charge of his care gives him morphine for pain but does not start CPR.

5. Nurse Karen does not continue the administration of enema to Ms. Gina, a

patient with a recent rape history, as she refuses to accept any treatment given through the anus.

6. The nurse in charge of Mr. de la Merced, who is requesting for a respiratory

therapist for her nebulization, rejects him justifying that a respiratory therapist is too costly and that it easy for a nurse to operate a nebulizer.

7. Nurse Alan and Nurse Jackson are close friends and work in the same hospital

but in different wards. Nurse Alan sees from the other ward that Nurse Jackson is caring for his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend and so asks Nurse Jackson about the patient’s diagnosis and condition. Nurse Jackson refuses to answer.
