HCA322 Patients rights infographic

Choose one of the topics listed below to address in your infographic.

Beneficence and nonmaleficence

Continuity of care

• Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)
• Must include details on whether someone besides the patient and their doctor can override this choice and how that might occur.
• Equitable care

Informed consent

• Internal Review Boards for health care research participants
• You would create this from the perspective of the hospital being part of a teaching and research institution.
• Patient autonomy
• Patient privacy

Must include how and what information may be shared with others, including information that must be reported to the state and federal agencies.

• In your infographic:
• Identify the topic to be addressed as your title.
• Explain the patient’s right in your own words.

Examine historical information that led to the enactment of the patient’s right.

• Must include details of how people who are part of at least one marginalized group (e.g., race and ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, immigrant, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+, age, spiritual and religious beliefs, etc.) were harmed before the right was enacted.

Share a recent example of how the right was not upheld leading to legal action(s).

Evaluate which patients (for example, people who experience healthcare disparities at a higher rate) are likely to experience inequity related to the selected patient right.

Discuss what the organization will do to preserve the patient’s rights.

• Discuss steps the patient should pursue if they believe their rights were not upheld.
• Your infographic should be pleasing to the eye, professional-looking, and it should consider your audience: the patients and the staff members working with them. Thorough details are required, but your infographic should not be too busy.
• Appropriate font size and style (use a san serif font, such as Calibri or Arial)

Appropriate color contrast (use a dark background with light-color text or light background with dark-color text)
