Description

Every patient who enters a healthcare facility is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect — and to be empowered to make informed decisions about their own care. These principles are the foundation of the Patient Bill of Rights, a set of legally guaranteed protections first developed by the American Hospital Association in 1973 and revised in 1992. Healthcare workers have both an ethical and legal responsibility to understand, uphold, and protect these rights in every patient interaction. This course provides healthcare employees with a thorough understanding of the rights patients are guaranteed by law and the obligations providers must fulfill to protect them.
 
 Learners will explore the specific patient rights established under 42 CFR 482.13 and 42 U.S.C.A. 1395dd, including the right to treatment, privacy, safety, and confidentiality of medical records. The course covers all three forms of informed consent, the different types of advance directives and their purpose, and the strict criteria governing the proper use of restraint and seclusion. Patient visitation rights are also addressed, ensuring healthcare workers understand the full scope of their obligations to patients and their families.
 
 Upon completion, employees will be equipped to recognize potential violations of patient rights and take appropriate action to protect the individuals in their care.

Our Story: From Service Members to Service Providers

Evolve eLearning Solutions started in 2003 with a simple observation: compliance training didn’t have to be painful. Founded by veterans of the United States Marine Corps and Navy, we brought a service-first mentality to an industry that often felt like an afterthought.

In the military, training isn’t optional—it’s how you stay mission-ready. We saw organizations struggling with the same challenge: keeping teams trained, compliant, and confident without derailing daily operations. The solutions available were either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both.

So, we built something different. Training that respects people’s time. Support that actually solves problems. Pricing that makes sense for real budgets. No enterprise sales pitches, no feature bloat—just effective compliance training delivered by people who understand what it means to serve.

Two decades later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve grown from a handful of courses to a comprehensive library covering OSHA, HIPAA, HR/EEO, and more. But we’re still the same team that picks up the phone, remembers your name, and treats your compliance challenges like they matter—because they do.
