Grievance Procedure

Speare Memorial Hospital will assist the patient in exercising his/her rights. If a patient, family, guardian, or significant other has a concern, he/she is encouraged to either:

  1. describe the concern to the head nurse or department head who in turn will be responsible for the timely review of the concern, resolution of the matter when feasible, and a response to the patient or family as appropriate;
  2. complete and forward a Patient Questionnaire describing the concern which will be reviewed by appropriate department heads and the Quality Assessment Committee who in turn will be responsible for the timely review, resolution of the concern when feasible and a response to the patient or family as appropriate;
  3. bring the concern to the attention of hospital administration in writing. Under no circumstances will this process compromise a patient's treatment or care delivered, nor in the future compromise a patient's treatment or care delivered, nor in the future compromise access to care.
