Patient Rights

Licensed Colorado health care facilities, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and birth centers, must “develop and implement a policy regarding patient rights.” The policy must declare that patients have, among other items, the right to: (1) the confidentiality of their medical records; (2) to participate in decisions regarding their care; (3) provide their informed consent to treatment; and (4) refuse treatment.

Health care facilities must provide individuals with notice of their patient rights policy prior to treating or admitting the individual.
