Patient Rights

Speak Up™ Against Discrimination, a patient safety campaign from The Joint Commission, focuses on what rights patients have and what they can do if they feel they are being discriminated against and receiving substandard care.

As a patient, you have the right to be informed about and make decisions regarding your care. You also have the right to care that is free from discrimination, as well as the right to have a patient advocate. In Speak Up™ For Your Rights, learn about the different rights you have as a patient.
