The purpose of this assignment is to educate patients on their rights to privacy.
Every person possesses certain rights guaranteed by law, including the rights to privacy, self-determination, and the right to accept or reject medical treatment. A professional relationship between the physician and the patient is essential for the provision of proper medical care. Understanding the rights and responsibilities of both patient and health care provider is important, as they are rooted in the law, ethics, moral principles, and religious values.
Create a 500- to 750-word digital brochure to educate patients on their privacy rights and ethical issues. Your audience for this educational brochure will be a patient from your own chosen field of study. Address the following in your brochure:
- Explain patient rights relative to privacy and professional ethics.
- Describe the four elements that form the patient/health care provider relationship: trust, knowledge, regard, and loyalty.
- Identify how health care delivery has changed with the COVID-19 pandemic for both health care professionals and patients.
- Discuss the pervasiveness of patient abuse and identify its signs.
The brochure should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.
Support your brochure with 2-3 scholarly resources.
