Your well-being is a collaborative effort among you and your Loyola health-care providers. To that end, we share with you both your rights and responsibilities as a patient. We uphold these rights. If you, as a patient, do not have your own decision-making authority, Loyola recognizes your patient representative as having these rights on your behalf, as allowed by law. Please see the documents below on patient rights and responsibilities.
We staff Loyola University Hospital with the number of nurses needed to match patients' acuity, or severity of illness, on a daily basis. Anyone can inquire about our nursing staffing levels by calling Patient Relations at (888) LUHS-888 and ask for extension 6-5140. We will be happy to answer questions in accordance with the 2004 Illinois Hospital Report Card Act.
A patient bill of rights is located in each patient's room and in the main entrance of all Loyola University Health System facilities.
