Hi! I’m Jennifer. After 15 years of working in various capacities in the medical field, I have gained insight into the common mistakes made by medical practice owners. I created this channel to assist practice owners in avoiding these mistakes and help the private practice sector of medicine grow and thrive. Healthcare has become overly institutionalized, resulting in unnecessary obstacles and demands.

Do these need to be posted in an outpatient clinic/do patients have to sign a document saying they were informed of their rights and responsibilities?
There are specifically mentioned patient rights and responsibilities mentioned in the HIPAA notice you have to provide to patients for their review. Yes, these can be posted in the clinic and have to be on your website too. There is an acknowledgement that should be signed by each patient and stored in their documents.
What about when they are not responding to potentially life threatening concerns in a timely manner?
This is definitely a touch situation. I would suggest trying to contact their emergency contact and let them know you are having trouble contacting the patient and ask if they would contact them and have them call the office. You can also confirm the contact information you are using. Sending certified letters to the patient's home, or using electronic communication like a patient portal is another avenue to try. Although it can be life-threatening or very serious, you still have to be very careful in the information you divulge and to whom so you don't violate any laws. Great question and thanks so much for watching!
Is this nhs scotland patients rights and responsibilities???
Thanks for watching! These are specifically the United States’ Patient rights and responsibilities that are required.
I am a mountain endurance athlete and my domestic NM wife sent me to lock up medical facility far away using her power of attorney -- and I fought the nurses and doctors daily to remain drug free. they didn't believe me. they offer pills for everything and push hard. Dr.s even say if you don't take the medications I prescribe for you then you are not cooperating and we will just keep you here longer. I was like what/ are you kidding me. I never will take anything and I fought them nightly as they sent in paramedics so there would be more of them to fight, but calmly asserting my rights in front of the cameras worked -- just no sleep and no safety there. does this sound familiar to anyone?
I am sorry you had to endure that, but thank you for sharing. I have not personally experienced this, but it is very important to remember that patients do have rights. I appreciate your input.
