When it is not medically advisable to give such information to the patient, the information should be provided to appropriate family member or, in their absence, another appropriate person. Patients are responsible for participation with the health care provider in designing a medical treatment plan to include follow up care that they will be able to comply with. This includes keeping appointments on time and notifying the facility when appointments cannot be kept. Patients must ensure medical records are promptly returned to the medical facility for appropriate filing and maintenance when records are transported by the patient. All medical records documenting care provided are the property of the U.S. Government.
Patients have the right to care and treatment in a safe environment.
Patients have the right and responsibility to seek information from the Health Benefits Advisors regarding health care expenses. Patients and visitors will be informed and need to follow the Medical Center's rules and regulations concerning patient conduct, to include regulations regarding smoking, noise control and number of visitors. By following these rules, patients will help the Medical Center Commander provide the best possible care for all beneficiaries. Patients may request assistance from any member of the TAMC staff.
