What is the primary goal of the Patient Bill of Rights?

The primary goal of the Patient Bill of Rights is to strengthen relationships between patients and providers. This framework was developed to ensure that patients are treated with dignity and respect, and to empower them to actively participate in their own healthcare decisions. By outlining the rights and responsibilities of patients, this bill promotes open communication and mutual respect, thus fostering a more collaborative environment between healthcare providers and those they serve.

This relationship is crucial because it impacts not only patient satisfaction but also health outcomes, as it encourages patients to express their needs and preferences, and providers to be attentive and responsive. Strengthening this relationship ultimately leads to a better overall experience for patients within the healthcare system.
