Introduction
The report will discuss about the law and regulations, a specific health service organization has to its patients.  Patient rights can be broad and exist across numerous organizations and persons. They can exist between insurers, laboratories, hospitals, any medical caregiver, patients, and even secretarial housekeepers and assistance, to name a few.
1. Official Title of the Law or Laws 
i. Affordable Care Act of 2010
Most Americans are required under the “Affordable Care Act” to apply for health insurance coverage. The medical industry can benefit from information that enables it to provide better services to a rising patient base. Providers of care must consider how to achieve these outcomes in their own offices. “The American Health Benefits Exchange”, which allows individuals to compare insurance policies, was also formed under the legislation (Kayaalp, 2018).
ii. Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act (PSQIA) of 2005
Health-care professionals who disclose harmful circumstances are protected by the “Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act”. The HHS imposes sanctions for violations of patient confidentiality in order to protect patient privacy. “The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)” is also authorized to issue a list of patient safety groups under the statute (PSOs) (Kayaalp, 2018).

Some basic rights include the right to a screening exam for all patients seeking care at an emergency room and the right not to be turned away if they cannot afford to pay (Tovino, 2020).
