- Title
Duty of Hospitals in Protecting Patients' Rights.
- Authors
Batra, Sippy
- Abstract
Patient rights today are an important issue which is advocated in many hospitals. All staff members are taught about it and how truly it is implemented, is still a question that needs to be answered. With increasing awareness and patients self education on the disease process, outcomes, benefits and risks it becomes imperative to put in practice ethical code of conduct and maintain transparency with the relations. This paper discusses various aspects involved in patient's rights and the hospitals' responsibility to honour them letter and spirit. It also mentions about a sample survey carried out in a tertiary care oncology set up in June 2015 to assess patients and staff awareness on patient's rights and their practical implementation.
