Patients have the right to receive medical care while retaining their dignity as human beings under the philosophy of "patient-centered medical care." In addition, medical care is established by patients and medical providers cooperating based on a mutual relationship of trust. Therefore, it is necessary for proactive participation with patients. Toshima Hospital has established a Patient Rights Charter based on this concept. We will observe the Patient Rights Charter and support the proactive participation by patients in medical care.
1. Patients have the right to receive appropriate medical care fairly. Patients have the right to receive safe and effective medical care at the most suitable medical care level without discrimination by societal standing or type of illness no matter who they are. The members of staff at Toshima Hospital shall respect this right and shall always be fair toward patients. Together with this, we will strive to improve medical care with the aim of providing appropriate, safe and high quality medical care.
2. Patients have the right to receive medical care based on a relationship of mutual cooperation with medical providers while having their personality and values respected as individual human beings. We shall respect each and every patient as independent human beings when patients receive medical care and undergo tests. The members of staff at Toshima Hospital shall strive to create even better medical care while cooperating with patients at the same time as respecting their personalities and values.
3. Patients have the right to receive an explanation in easy-to-understand words about their condition, progress, and content of tests and treatment. Explanations of patient's illnesses conditions, the progress after treatment and content of treatment (e.g. tests and therapeutic medications) shall not be one-side from the medical provider to the patient. The medical provider shall strive to assist with the understanding of patients and obtain their acceptance. This shall be done by valuing close communication between both parties with a patient-centered standpoint. For example, the medical provider shall answer questions and doubts from patients appropriately in easy-to-understand words and methods.
4. Patients have the right to select the content of their medical care according to their own wishes based on sufficient explanations and information. The desire of patients to hear of opinions from other physicians (second opinions) shall also be respected at that time. Patients have the right to receive a sufficient explanation concerning the purpose, method, effectiveness and side effects of the treatment method and content of the tests that they will receive. Patients then have the right to determine whether or not to accept that medical care based on them. Moreover, medical providers shall not perform such treatment without the consent of patients and patients shall have the right to refuse this treatment without being disadvantaged. The medical providers at Toshima Hospital shall always provide support based on the appropriate level of knowledge and experience taking into account the benefit of patients in addition to simply providing medical care information. Furthermore, our medical providers shall meet the desire to hear the opinions of other physicians (second opinions) from such a standpoint. In addition, we request that patients ask their medical providers questions again and again if there is something that they do not understand so that they fully understanding and accept them. This is so that patients receive sufficient explanations and information regarding their medical care, so that they receive treatment they can accept and so that they can select their method of treatment under their own volition.
5. Patients have the right to request the disclosure of their medical information. Patients can request the disclosure of their medical information. However, it may be difficult to accurately understand and accept the content of them just by looking at information that has simply been recorded. To the end, this right also includes the right to receive summaries and explanations of the content in addition to disclosure of medical information. Toshima Hospital shall strive to keep accurate records while always thinking objectively when preparing medical records to carry out this right.
6. Patients have the right for their personal information obtained in medical care to be protected and for the personal life in the hospital not to be exposed or disturbed by others as far as possible. Personal information pertaining to the illnesses of patients is handled in hospitals and life with treatment carried out under this special environment. Therefore, it is important to pay particular attention to the privacy of patients. Toshima Hospital pays particular attention to the right of privacy of patients while always being aware of such hospital characteristics. That is, the right for patient's personal information and person lives not to be exposed or disturbed by others.
7. Patients shall have the right to decide whether to accept treatment in the research stage after receiving sufficient information about its purposes and risks. In addition, patients shall have the right to refuse such treatment without being disadvantaged in any way whatsoever. Patients have the right to receive sufficient information about the purposes and risks of treatment in the drug clinical trial (clinical trials performed on patients to receive new drug approval) and research stage. Patients shall also have the right to determine whether or not to accept the treatment. Moreover, such a treatment shall not be given to patients without their consent and patients shall have the right to refuse such treatment at any time without being disadvantaged even if they give their consent. In particular, in the case of clinical trials, the clinical trial coordinators in hospitals shall strive to protect the rights of patients based on the Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
8. Patients have the right to receive introductions to appropriate medical institutions as necessary to receive continuing treatment. Toshima Hospital shall build a cooperative system with community medical institutions so that the necessary treatment can be provided by appropriate medical institutions. To that end, we shall send, reverse introduce or introduce patients to the appropriate medical institutions as necessary for their conditions and treatment situations. This will make it possible to continue providing patients with the best medical care. At the same, it will allow each medical institution to demonstrate their inherent roles and functions.
9. Patients have the responsibility to accurately communicate information concerning their own health as far as possible to medical providers. We request that patients accurately communicate to medical providers information concerning their own health as far as possible (e.g., medical history and allergies) so that medical providers can make accurate judgments.
10. Patients have the responsibility to observe the prescribed regulations so that everyone can live their lives in treatment comfortably. The hospital is a place where many patients receive various treatments and live. Accordingly, Toshima Hospital shall endeavor to ensure patients receive sufficient medical care and can live their lives in treatment comfortably. However, patients shall also accept that there shall be constraints not found in their regular lives. Please fully understand this and observe the prescribed regulations.
