Patient Responsibilities
In order to enable the Student Health Services to provide high quality health care services in an atmosphere of mutual respect, the Student Health Services staff reasonably expects its patients to:
- Provide full information about your illness or problem to allow proper evaluation and treatment.
- Ask sufficient questions to ensure appropriate comprehension of your illness or problem, as well as the health professional’s recommendation for continuing care. If you find the care or course of treatment unacceptable for any reason, it should be discussed with the staff of Student Health Services.
- Show courtesy and respect to health personnel and other patients
- Maintain exclusive use of personal identification. Use by others may lead to entries in the wrong medical chart or errors in treatment.
- Call Student Health Services as soon as possible when it becomes necessary to cancel or reschedule an appointment. The time may then be given to someone else.
- Refrain from giving medication prescribed for you to others.
