Patient rights are a subset of human rights. The concept of human rights refers to minimum standards for the ways persons can expect to be treated by others. The concept of ethics refers to customary standards for the ways persons should treat others. As such, rights and ethics are in some sense ‘flip sides of the same coin,’ with 1 or more ethical principles justifying every right. As ethics change over time, so do rights. A right occurs when an organization that has the authority to enforce an ethical standard actually enforces it. This activity discusses, on an introductory level, ethical principles that translate into patient rights, patient rights currently enforced in the United States, with some comparisons to past rights and rights in other countries, and a history of how these rights came to be. Participants will gain insights into the role of healthcare professionals as advocates for patients’ rights and will enhance their application of patients’ rights and ethical practices in clinical practice.
