Abstract 5147
Background
Patient rights has been developed from human rights. Human rights emerged from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration is a milestone document in the history of human rights (1). Today the patient’s rights have become an important issue on the political agenda. Individual’s awareness of their own rights in the health area is constantly increasing. Patient’s rights are becoming primary concern in improving quality of health care (2). Today the patient becomes the consumer (3). The most important role that nurses have is delivering quality care for the patients and also act as patient advocates. Nurses must understand the importance of patient rights. The main aim of the survey is to analyze, investigate, compare and present, the legal framework of the patient’s rights legislation in the European Union.
Methods
A literature search and review related to the patient right was conducted using PubMed, Cinahl, Medline and Google Scholar. With descriptive method we set up a theoretical framework of the patient’s rights legislation. We also use comporative method to discover the similarities and differences between legal systems and their components.
Results
Patient’s rights are in thirteen European Member States regulated by specific law - Law on patient’s rights.
Conclusions
EU Member States do not have a common legislation for patient’s rights. Patient’s rights vary from country to country. Some countries have a single law or act, others use multiple pieces of legislation. Nurses are an important voice of the patient. References: 1. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
