The Patients’ Bill of Rights

The Patients’ Bill of Rights ensures that individuals seeking healthcare receive respectful, informed, and coordinated care. It guarantees patients the right to understand their treatment options, make decisions about their health, and have control over their medical records. Patients are entitled to respectful treatment regardless of age, race, or background, and should be informed of costs and risks. The bill also emphasizes access to emergency services, privacy, and overall quality of care. In essence, it empowers patients to be active participants in their healthcare while ensuring their rights are protected throughout the treatment process.
