Stakeholder approach in strengthening the Patients' Rights in the Slovak Republic.
Bratislavske lekarske listy, 2007Co-Authors: Alexandra Brazinova, Heydelberg E, Koot J, Rusnakova, Martin RusnakAbstract:The described project aimed to promote Patients' Rights in the Slovak Republic that are stipulated by law but in practice not observed fully. The project was based on a bi-lateral agreement between The Netherlands and the Slovak Republic in the framework of European Union pre-accession program and implemented in the period from January 2002 to June 2003. Successful Dutch models of Patients' Rights promotion were used. They were applied under Slovak conditions and focused on the areas in the greatest need of attention, such as information campaigning and public awareness of Patients' Rights issues. The initiation of a cooperation of various stakeholders active in healthcare and national Patients' right forums was among the most positive aspects of the project. The information campaign was constructed in order to educate citizens about their entitlements and Rights within healthcare. Healthcare professionals were trained on respecting the Rights of their clients. Pilots were started in several hospitals and in Healthy City projects, and Patients' Rights modules were made available at educational centers and various private and health organizations. Some of the cooperating healthcare professionals expressed their fear that the public might misuse the gained advocacy skills. This idea has originated from the current situation in Slovak healthcare, where inadequate financing, education, and management is a barrier in the physician's ability to serve the patient's best interest. The implemented project started wide public discussion on Patients' Rights and stimulated a cooperation of a large number of stakeholders in the promotion of Patients' Rights (Tab. 2, Ref. 13).

bounded rationality in transposition processes the case of the european Patients Rights directive
2014Co-Authors: Hans Vollaard, Dorte Sindbjerg MartinsenAbstract:Studies explaining the timeliness and correctness of the transposition of EU directives into national legislation have provided rather inconclusive findings. Therefore, they do not offer a clear-cut prediction concerning the transposition of the Patients’ Rights directive, which is one of the first that concerns the organisation and financing of national healthcare systems. This paper applies the perspective of bounded rationality to explain (irregularities in) the timely and correct transposition of EU directives. The cognitive and organisational constraints long posited by the bounded rationality perspective may affect the commonly employed explanatory factors of administrative capacities, misfit, and the heterogeneity of preferences among veto players. To prevent retrospective rationalisation of the transposition process, this paper traces this process as it unfolded in Denmark and the Netherlands. As bounded rationality is apparent in the transposition processes in these relatively well-organised countries, future transposition studies should devote greater consideration to the bounded rationality perspective.

Patients' Rights: a hospital survey in South Egypt.
Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE, 2013Co-Authors: Hanaa A. Abou Zeina, Azza A. El Nouman, Moushera A. Zayed, Tamer Hifnawy, Ekram M. El Shabrawy, Eman El TahlawyAbstract:We examined the awareness of and practices regarding Patients' Rights in one of the general hospitals in South Egypt. This cross-sectional study incorporated a convenience sample of the hospitalized Patients and their companions (N = 292), as well as the actively working medical care providers (MCPs) at the time of data collection, 72 physicians and 48 nurses. Pretested structured questionnaires inquired about the way in which Patients' Rights are perceived by and exercised through the lived experiences of the sample group. An in-depth interview about patient Rights' practices was conducted with the study hospital's highest-level manager. Three quarters of the Patients and companions did not know about the list of Patients' Rights, compared to about half of the physicians and nurses--77%, 44%, and 48% respectively. Among those Patients and companions who were knowledgeable about the list of Patients' Rights, mass media was their main source of knowledge, about eight times greater than their next source, placards on the hospital wall. The proportion of the physicians who stated undergraduate curriculum as a source of their knowledge was almost half that of the nurses. Strategies to promote awareness among MCPs, and to ensure effective supervision from both the Ministry of Health and local managers, should precede mass community Patients' Rights awareness efforts.

Patients’ Rights and Responsibilities: Part 1 – the Patients’ Rights Charter
South African Pharmacist's Assistant, 2016Co-Authors: Lorraine OsmanAbstract:We hear a lot about Patients’ Rights. Everyone’s right to access to healthcare is protected by the Constitution of our country. The National Department of Health took the Rights of the patient further than merely access to healthcare. The Patients’ Rights Charter has set standards for healthcare since 1999. In addition, the Patients’ Rights Charter was adapted by the SA Pharmacy Council to be a Charter of Patients’ Rights in the Pharmacy. This article will examine the Department of Health’s Charter, and in each case will give a few examples from the pharmacy. There are obviously going to be more opportunities to fulfil the Patients’ Rights, so you are welcome to send your suggestions to the editor.
