about his diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in terms the patient can be reasonably
expected to understand. When it is not medically advisable to give such information
to the patient, it should be made available to an appropriate person in his behalf.
He has the right to know, by name, the doctor responsible for coordinating his care
3. The patient has the right to receive from his doctor, information necessary to
give informed consent prior to the start of any procedure or treatment. Except in
emergencies, such information for informed consent should include but not necessarily
be limited to the specific procedure or treatment, the medically significant risks
involved, and the probable duration of incapacitation. Where medically significant
alternatives for care or treatment exist, or when the patient requests information
concerning medical alternatives, the patient has the right to such information.

procedures or treatment. The patient has the right to refuse treatment to the extent
permitted by law and to be informed of the medical consequences of his action.

in his care must have the permission of the patient to be present.
6. The patient has the right to expect that all communications and records pertaining
to his care should be treated as confidential.

make reasonable response to the request of a patient for services. The hospital
must provide evaluation, service, or referral as indicated by the urgency of the
case. When medically permissible, a patient may be transferred to another facility
only after he has received complete information and explanation concerning the needs
for and alternatives to such a transfer. The institution to which the patient is
to be transferred must first have accepted the patient for transfer.
8. The patient has the right to obtain information as to any relationship of his
hospital to other health care and educational institutions insofar as his care is
concerned. The patient has the right to obtain information as to the existence of
any professional relationships among individuals, by name, who are treating him.

regardless of the source of payment.
