Preferred term

patient rights  

Definition

  • Patient rights are strict claims made by persons seeking and using healthcare resources. Because an actual right obligates someone or some entity to protect or provide something, healthcare professionals and organizations are responsible for acknowledging, honoring, protecting, and supporting patient rights. [Source: Encyclopedia of Medical Decision Making; Patient Rights]
