4- The Oakville Beaver, Friday March 30, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com The Pulse O Inviting Your Input: HHS Patient Rights and Responsibilities Halton Healthcare Services recognizes that hospital care is a partnership between the healthcare provider and the patient/ family. To help ensure there is a clearer understanding of the expectations of both, we are developing statements that articulate the Rights and Responsibilities of the Patients at the HHS Hospitals. Through our research and discussions with staff and patients at our hospitals we have developed a series of statements that we believe should be considered for this document. We would like your assistance in identifying the top five Rights and the top five Responsibilities that you think should be included in this document. Please log on to our web site, www.haltonhealthcareservices.com, click on the link included on the home page and follow the instructions to submit your feedback. Your participation is truly appreciated and will help fully develop this document. If you have any questions about Patient Rights and Responsibilities at Halton Healthcare Services please contact the HHS Ombud at 905-338-4433 or via email at dbond@haltonhealthcare.on.ca. www.haltonhealthcare.com NEWS AND INFORMATION FROM OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Six Banks.
