Patient Responsibilities
The care a patient receives depends partially on the patient himself. Therefore, in addition to these rights, a patient has certain responsibilities as well. These responsibilities should be presented to the patient in the spirit of mutual trust and respect.
- The patient has the responsibility to provide accurate and complete information concerning his/her present complaints, past illnesses, hospitalizations, medications and other matters relating to his/her health.
- The patient is responsible for reporting perceived risks in his or her care and unexpected
changes in his/her condition to the responsible practitioner. - The patient and family are responsible for asking questions when they do not understand what they have been told about the patient’s care or what they are expected to do.
- The patient is responsible for following the plan of care established by his/her physician,
including the instructions of nurses and other health professionals as they carry out the physician’s orders. - The patient is responsible for keeping appointments and for notifying the hospital or physician when he/she is unable to do so.
- The patient is responsible for his/her actions should he/she refuse treatment or not follow his/her physician’s orders.
- The patient is responsible for assuring that the financial obligations of his/her hospital care are fulfilled as promptly as possible.
- The patient is responsible for following hospital policies and procedures.
- The patient is responsible for being considerate of the rights of other patients and hospital personnel.
- The patient is responsible for being respectful of his/her personal property and that of other persons in the hospital.
