 An Event on “Patient Rights and the Role of Healthcare Managers” Was Held


İstanbul Gelişim University (İGÜ) Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Health Management, addressed a significant topic in the healthcare sector by organizing an online event on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Titled "Patient Rights and the Role of Health Managers," the event attracted considerable interest from a wide audience, especially health management students and academics.


The Importance of Patient Rights and the Critical Responsibilities of Health Managers

The event's main speaker, Dr. Ramazan Durgut, emphasized the centrality of patient rights in contemporary healthcare delivery. Dr. Durgut comprehensively discussed the responsibilities undertaken by managers in providing human-centered healthcare services and the ethical principles involved in this process. In this context, it was highlighted that health managers not only fulfill administrative duties but also play critical roles that directly impact patient satisfaction, safety, and the overall healthcare experience.

Healthcare Law and the Key to Corporate Integration: Informed Health Managers

In light of Dr. Durgut's extensive knowledge in healthcare law, the vital importance of health managers having a complete understanding of patient rights legislation and successfully integrating this knowledge into the corporate culture was re-emphasized. The event detailed how managers can reflect this knowledge in operational processes, balance patient-healthcare professional relationships, and prevent potential legal issues.

Communication, Satisfaction, and Safety: The Strategic Role of Health Managers

The presentation also underscored the critical role health managers play in increasing patient satisfaction, improving communication processes, and implementing patient safety practices. Under these headings, practical steps such as establishing transparent communication channels, activating effective feedback mechanisms, and meticulously implementing patient safety protocols were discussed. The event highlighted that health managers can significantly contribute to the success of their institutions and public health by adopting a patient-centric service approach.

Comprehensive Equipping for Future Health Managers

The Department of Health Management aims for students to gain not only theoretical knowledge but also to be equipped with current practices and to make significant contributions to their professional competencies through such events. This approach seeks to enable students to approach the challenges they face in the dynamic healthcare sector more equipped and informed after graduation. İstanbul Gelişim University continues its mission of training leading and ethically conscious professionals in health management through such comprehensive events.
