Access to Respectful Care
You have the right to access fair treatment in a safe setting, regardless of age, race, creed, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, cultural or spiritual values, disability, or source of payment. Accommodations, such as those pertaining to service animals, will be honored as outlined by the ADA.
Safety
Patient safety is our priority. As a Patient, you have the right to have care provided in a safe setting. Everyone at Sparrow has a role in making your healthcare safe. You play a vital role in making your care safe by becoming an active, involved and informed member
of your healthcare team.
Your perception of risks to safety and suggestions or ideas for improvement will be heard and responded to properly. Please let your healthcare providers know of any concerns you have. Your suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
You may also submit suggestions or ideas by calling the Patient Experience Department at 517.364.3935 or 43935 if dialing from within Sparrow.
You have the right to know the identity and title of individuals providing service and to know which Physician or other practitioner is primarily responsible for your care. Your healthcare team may include other Physicians, Resident Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, or Students.
You have the right to be free from seclusion and the use of any restraint that is not medically necessary. These measures are determined by your Physician and used only to prevent injury to yourself or others, and only when alternative, less restrictive measures have been considered.
You have the right to be free from mental, physical, sexual, and verbal abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
Communication and Visitation
You have the right to hear or see information in a way that you can understand.
You have the right to hear or see information in your preferred language if you don’t speak English or are hearing impaired. Translation services are provided free of charge.
You have a right to quick and reasonable response to questions and requests.
You have the right to have Visitors and to receive phone calls and written communication. Visitors may be your spouse, your domestic partner (including a same-sex domestic partner), another family member, or a friend, unless the individual’s presence interferes with others’ rights, safety, or is medically or therapeutically unsafe.
You have the right to accept and refuse to see Visitors, except in the case of a Physician order.
Privacy and Confidentiality
You have the right, within the law, to personal and informational privacy in treatment and in caring for your personal needs with recognition of personal dignity, diversity, and religious and other spiritual preferences.
You have the right to refuse to talk with or see anyone not officially connected with the hospital, including Visitors or persons officially connected with the hospital but not directly involved in your care.
You have the right to be interviewed and examined in surroundings designed to assure reasonable visual and auditory privacy. This includes the right to request to have another person present during certain parts of a physical examination, treatment, or procedure performed by a health professional.
You have the right to expect that any discussion involving your care will be conducted discreetly and that individuals not directly involved in your care will not be present without permission.
You have the right to have the medical record accessed only by individuals for purposes as allowed under the law.
Pain Management
You have the right to appropriate assessment and management of pain that may include:
Information about pain management and pain relief measures.
Staff committed to pain prevention and management.
Health professionals who respond promptly to reports of pain.
The knowledge that reports of pain will be addressed.
Information and Education
You have the right to obtain, from the healthcare team responsible for coordinating and providing your care, complete and current information about diagnosis (to the degree known), treatment, alternatives, risks and any known prognosis. This information should be communicated in terms you can understand. When it is not medically advisable to give you such information, it should be made available to your legal representative. You can expect to be provided with information:
That is necessary for you to safely continue your care when you leave the hospital.
To help promote recovery and maintain or improve function.
To help with disease management or symptom progression.
To help improve outcomes.
Consent
You have the right to reasonable, informed participation in decisions involving your healthcare. To the degree possible, this should be based on a clear and concise explanation of your condition and planned procedures, including potential benefits, the possibilities of any risk of death or serious side effects, problems related to recuperation, and probability of success.
Before undergoing any procedure, you or your legal representative will voluntarily provide informed consent. You will be informed if medically significant alternatives for care or treatment exist.
You have the right to request treatment. However, your right to make decisions about healthcare does not mean you can demand treatment or services that are medically inappropriate or unnecessary.
Refusal of Treatment
You have the right to refuse treatment or withhold informed consent. Except for emergencies, the Physician must obtain the necessary informed consent prior to the start of any procedure or treatment, or both.
Your participation in clinical trials or in the gathering of data for research purposes is voluntary. You have the right to refuse participation at any time in the process.
Advance Directives
You have a right to receive information about advance directives. Advance directives ensure that your wishes, in written or oral form, are carried out. When your advance directives are presented in a valid format, Sparrow will honor your wishes and retain them in your current medical record when appropriate.
The Designation of Patient Advocate (Advance Directives) form includes Directions for Health Care and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. For more information, contact your Caregiver or call the Patient Experience Department at 517.364.3935 to speak with a Patient Representative.
Medical Records
You have the right to see your medical record at a time suitable for both you and the staff. Once discharged, you may request and obtain a copy of your medical record by calling 517.364.2276.
You have the right to request changes to your protected health information (PHI).
You have the right to confidentiality, privacy, and security of your records, both personal and medical. We may use or disclose PHI without your permission as described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, for example to coordinate your care or submit a claim to your insurance company.
You have a variety of other rights related to your medical records that are explained in the Sparrow Health System Notice of Privacy Practices. You may obtain a copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices by contacting the Patient Experience Department at 517.364.3935. If calling from within Sparrow, dial 43935.
Concerns About Billing
You have the right to details about all items on your bill. Upon request, information concerning financial help will be given to you. If you have a question about billing or insurance, call 517.364.7999.
Your Responsibilities as a Patient at Sparrow
Respect and Consideration
You are responsible for being considerate of the rights of other Patients and healthcare staff. This includes not smoking and controlling noise and Visitors. Caregivers and Patients have an expectation of privacy that must be honored. Video recording, voice recording, and photographing others are strictly limited. You are responsible for being respectful of the property of others and of Sparrow. You understand that any abusive or disrespectful behavior could result in your dismissal from care.
Safety
You play a vital role in making your care safe by becoming an active, involved and informed member of your healthcare team. You are responsible to:.
Work with your Doctor, Nurse and other care providers to make decisions about your care.
Ask a family member or friend to be part of your healthcare team if you are very sick.
Ask questions until you understand the answers (about treatments, procedures, medications, etc.).
Learn about the possible risks of refusing a test or procedure.
Ask why a test or treatment is needed, how it can help you and if you would be better off without it. Know that more is not always better.
Make sure that you, your Doctor and your Surgeon all agree and are clear on exactly what will be done if you are having surgery.
Ask your Doctor or healthcare providers to explain the recommended or prescribed treatment plan.
Ask for information about your medicines, if any, in terms you can understand. You need to know:
What it is for
How to take it
How long to take it
What the side effects are
What to do if there are side effects
If it is safe to take with other medicines, foods, and supplements
What food, drink, activities to avoid
Where to store it
Compliance
You are responsible for following the treatment plan recommended by the Physician primarily responsible for your care. This may include following the instructions of Nurses and other healthcare team members as they carry out your plan of care, implement the responsible Physician’s orders, and enforce applicable rules and regulations.
Pain Management
You are responsible for:
Working with the Physician and Nurse to develop a pain management plan.
Asking the Physician or Nurse what to expect of pain and pain management.
Helping the Physician and Nurse assess your pain.
Discussing pain relief options with Physician and Nurses.
Telling the Physician or Nurse about any concerns you have about taking pain medication.
Asking for pain relief when pain first begins.
Complying with Physician orders regarding medication.
Telling the Physician or Nurse if and when pain is not relieved.
Providing Information
As a Patient, you are an integral part of your healthcare team. Therefore, you are responsible for:
Participating in your care and healthcare decisions
Providing, to the best of your knowledge, accurate and complete information about present complaints, past illnesses, hospitalizations, medications, allergies and other matters relating to your health
Reporting unexpected changes in your condition to the responsible practitioner
Communicating whether you clearly understand your plan of care and what is expected of you
Education
You are expected to participate in the teaching/learning process so that you will acquire and understand the skills and behaviors that promote recovery, maintain or improve function, or manage disease or symptom progression.
Advance Directives
If you have an advance directive in a valid format and present it either at registration or to a member of your healthcare team, it will be retained in your current medical record when appropriate.
You are responsible for informing Sparrow and your healthcare providers if you create, modify, or revoke an advance directive. An advance directive is not required to receive treatment, and you may waive your right to make one.
If you are incapacitated or unable to speak for yourself, in the absence of Advance Directives, Michigan state law provides that a proxy may speak for you. The following may serve as a proxy in order of authority: a spouse, an adult child or majority of adult children, a parent, an adult sibling or majority of adult siblings, an adult relative who has exhibited special care and concern or a close friend, or a court approved surrogate.
Ethics Committee
Ethical challenges can arise in the course of caring for sick Patients in a modern hospital. If a conflict of an ethical nature arises during your care, you or your legal representative may request an Ethics Consult. Ethics consultations encourage and facilitate conversations among all those involved with the patient’s care. These discussions are facilitated by members of Sparrow Health System’s Ethics Committee, who are trained as ethics consultants. Ideally, discussions end with everyone agreeing about the best course of action. But if not, the ethics consultants will provide advice about which specific course of action is best, backed by reasons.
Charges
You are responsible for assuring that your financial obligations for healthcare received are fulfilled as promptly as possible.
Refusing Treatment
You are responsible for your actions if you refuse treatment or do not follow the healthcare team’s instructions.
Personal Property
Sparrow is not responsible for cash, valuables, and personal items you bring to the hospital. If you are an inpatient, please leave all jewelry and valuables and other personal items at home or send them home with family members or a person whom you trust to properly secure them. If necessary and upon request, hospital Caregivers will contact Security for you to store smaller valuables in the hospital safe.
Your Concerns
If you or your legal representative has a concern about any aspect of your care at Sparrow, you are urged to let us know so we can resolve it promptly. This reporting will in no way negatively impact future care. We consider your comments opportunities for us to improve care and service. To address concerns, you may:
Speak to your Physician or Nurse (the most direct option).
Speak to the Supervisor of the department where the concern arose.
If an inpatient, you also may talk with the Charge Nurse, Nurse Manager, Patient Care Director, Administrator or House Supervisor on call. The operator can connect you with any of these individuals.
If your healthcare providers cannot promptly resolve your concerns, please contact the Patient Experience Department at 517.364.3935. If dialing from within Sparrow, call 43935.
You may also submit your complaint by email at: PatientExperience@sparrow.org
or by direct mail, addressed to:
Patient Experience Department
1215 E. Michigan Avenue
Lansing, MI 48912
