It is the purpose of these sections to promote the interests and well-being of the patients and residents of hospitals subject to this subpart even in those instances where the interests of the patients may be in opposition to the interests of the hospital. It is declared to be the public policy of the Department that the interests of patients be protected by a Patient's Bill of Rights. Nothing in these sections is intended to serve as evidence of a standard of reasonable conduct for the purpose of determining civil liability between providers and consumers of health services. The hospital has the right to expect the patient to fulfill patient responsibilities as may be stated in the hospital rules affecting patient care and conduct.
