Respecting Health Care

Patients have to respect the rights and property of other patients and health care providers
Patients have to be considerate in using health care system facilities and equipment and not to abuse them
Patients should follow a respectful manner in communications and interactions with the staff, patients and visitors. This includes not using discriminatory, inappropriate, harassing or abusive language and behavior
Patients should also refrain from behavior that unreasonably places the health of others at risk (e.g. patients could inquire about the means of infectious disease transmission and act upon that information which can prevent further transmission
