Patient and Resident Rights
Patients are entitled to protections and rights established by federal, state, and local or regional laws. These rights apply whether they reside temporarily or permanently in a medical center, hospital, clinic, extended care facility, private care home, residential care facility for the elderly, or skilled nursing facility. They may also be entitled to additional rights through voluntary codes of ethics adopted by organizations, associations, and societies that guide the conduct of members and providers. Understanding the rights of patients and residents will enable health care providers and caregivers to operate according to best-practice standards and protect themselves and their employers from costly and unpleasant legal action.
