Answer:
The legal parameters for patient rights are set by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1966).
The laws give the patient some bills of rights, which cannot be denied to any person of sound mind.
These rights include the right to be treated respectfully and without discrimination, rights of privacy and personal access to medical records, rights of treatment refusal and choice, and the right to informed consent.
Step-by-step explanation:
These patient rights ensure that Dr. S and Dr. V practice medicine ethically. They cannot divulge a patient's medical information without her consent. Every treatment and test to be administered to the patient must go with her consent. Dr. S and Dr. V cannot deny the patient access to her medical records. They are also not permitted to transfer her medical records to another person or institution without the patient's authorization. Dr. S and Dr. V must discuss the treatment and test, including any other information with the patient, to obtain her full consent before taking any action. They cannot bill the patient without discussing the cost of treatment.
