Patient Bill of Rights

The Patient Bill of Rights is a set of standards designed to ensure that patients receive respectful, fair, and informed care from healthcare providers. It outlines the rights patients have, such as the right to receive clear information about their health, to make decisions about their treatment, to privacy and confidentiality, and to file complaints without fear of retaliation. Essentially, it empowers patients and establishes expectations for healthcare providers, promoting patient dignity and involvement in their own care. Understanding these rights helps patients advocate for themselves and ensures better health outcomes.
