Rights and Obligations in Healthcare

Right: A justified claim that demands respect; the following are different types of rights: human right; legal right; moral right; natural right; positive right; recipient right; and unalienable right (AIU, 2010).

Rights as defined by a healthcare provider can be viewed in a number of ways but the boldness of the definition should include protecting the privacy of the patient, protecting confidentiality and providing the best possible care to a patient as well as interpreting, explain and including the patient in treatment, diagnosis, and care. The patient’s bill of rights is in place in order to provide and protect a patient as well as a provider. When both parties, the patient and the providers, treat each other with what is right than all is well.

Consequences of this could result in something along the lines of treat others the way you want to be treated but sometimes there are individuals who don’t understand basic rights and wont treat others well. The patient’s bill of rights helps confusion. Consequences can be a number of things. There are many rights within the patient’s bill of rights and to avoid consequences all parties involved within any patient’s bill of rights should abide by what is “right”.

The most common type of patient-provider model of the above definition would result in healthcare physicians within a hospital or clinic providing care to that of a patient. It’s hard to breakdown a definition involved with a patient’s bill of rights. The patient’s bill of rights is a well rounded act that in most cases rids UN flattering consequences of most patient provider relations. In particular instances things do change and people need to remember that and also remember the patient’s bill of rights.
