Abstract:

The aim of the study is to analyze how the patient’s rights are respected in Romanian hospitals and how important is communication for the medical staff. During this study, we have analyzed the results of an application form with 152 indicators, from Reference no. 6 “Patient’s rights and communication”, from Accreditation Standards, used by The National Authority of Quality Management in Healthcare, in 146 Romanian hospitals, from a total of 433 medical units. The study revealed that there are some recurrent problems related to patient’s rights and communication, such as: access in hospitals of people with disabilities, aspects related to informed consent, or communication between medical staff and patients or caregivers.

Keywords:
