Successful medical care requires ongoing collaboration between patients and their health care providers. This partnership requires both individuals to take an active role in the healing process. Patients are responsible for:
Showing respect and consideration for the facility, caregivers and property
Providing accurate and complete information about your health and reporting any charges in it
Asking questions when you do not understand what you have been told
Following the care or treatment plan developed for you
Reporting any risks, you think are related to your care, and any unexpected changes in your condition
Accepting the consequences if you do not follow the care or treatment plan
Paying for charges related to your care
