At BMC, we work hard to meet our patient’s expectations. However, at times we may not succeed in doing so. We recognize that all patients and their families have the right to file a complaint. We always encourage patients and their loved ones to speak directly with the particular staff member or manager of the department in which a problem has occurred. However, if these attempts do not resolve the situation, or if a patient or family member feels uncomfortable addressing their problem within the department, a patient advocate is happy to help.
Ask your nurse to put in a request for you to see a patient advocate.
We will make every effort to fulfill the request prior to discharge.
If you are discharged before the consult, below are some available resources.
