Each patient/legal representative signs the notice at registration and is offered a written copy of the hospital's Notice of Patient's Rights and Responsibilities Acknowledgement. Every effort possible is made to provide this information in advance of providing or discontinuing care. The patient rights/responsibilities information may also be made available to patients throughout their stay upon request.
The Notice of Patient’s Rights and Responsibility provides the patient/legal representative written contact information for initiating a complaint should anyone believe their patient rights have been violated.
