Post 1: The Patients’ Bill of Rights

For many years different laws in health care have been created to protect us as patients. The Patient’s Bill of Rights which

sets certain ethical standards and provides proper knowledge to patients receiving medical care was initially adopted by the

American Hospital Association in 1973 and revised in October 1992. For many it carries diverse expectations of the care that should

be provided in a respectful and dignified manner.

Setting different guarantees for patients for example: to be treated in and environment free from discrimination, to be

provided an estimate of charges for medical care, a reasonably clear itemized bill, and, if needed, an explanation of the charge

(Myrtle and Pardew, 2018), the patient has the right to make decisions about the plan of care before and during the course of

treatment and to refuse a recommended treatment or plan of care if it is permitted by law and hospital policy. The patient also has

the right to be informed of the medical consequences of this action. In case of such refusal, the patient is still entitled to appropriate

care and services that the hospital provides or to be transferred to another hospital (Pecorino 2002).

In conclusion all these rights have given patients the correct resources to make educated decisions about their health

care needs like designating a health care surrogate or end of life care choices. Lastly providing accurate information and explaining

all rights to patients equals better care in healthcare.

When the inevitable happens and someone in your family get sick, there is probably as aggravating as being forced to sit for hours in an emergency room or doctor's office, then you only see him/her for a few minutes before you are hustled out the door to deal with insurance and paper work. Doctor visits are expensive, time consuming and frustrating. But if you and other colleague at your company could have Internet access to a nation-wide network of licensed doctors any day and save on health insurance costs. Telemedicine is a monthly subscription for medical services that would not be consistently availably in distant rural communities, it is used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations. It is a monthly subscription for routine health care services, not only does it save time and frustration waiting for a doctor in an emergency room or clinic, there is not deductible and no co-insurance which saves individuals n business lost income due to employees being away from work.
