The Patient’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities poster provides a list of rights and responsibilities for patients receiving medical care in Florida health care facilities.
Patients have the right to know what their rights and responsibilities are when receiving health care. Patients also have the responsibility to respect the health care provider’s and heath care facility’s right to expect behavior on the part of patients which, considering the nature of their illness, is reasonable and responsible.
