Five years after its implementation, the Dutch Medical Treatment Act, which regulates the doctor patient contract, was evaluated in an extensive study. This act regulates (a) the right of patients to be informed and to give consent and (b) how to deal with confidential patient data. The main outcome from this study is that, in general, physicians are aware of the most important patient rights laid down in the Act and that compliance with these is mostly satisfactory. Nevertheless, the implementation can still be improved in several areas, notably the application of the more abstract provisions of the Act in everyday practice. It is recommended that measures be taken in the education and further training of health professionals and that guidelines are developed that detail how to deal with the rights of a patient in specific situations.
在实施五年后，荷兰《医疗行为法》（该法规范医患契约）在一项广泛的研究中得到了评估。该法规定了：(a) 患者被告知及给予同意的权利，以及 (b) 如何处理患者的机密数据。这项研究的主要结果是，总体而言，医生了解该法规定的最重要的患者权利，并且对这些权利的遵守情况大多令人满意。然而，在几个方面的实施仍可改进，特别是该法更抽象条款在日常实践中的应用。建议在卫生专业人员的教育和进一步培训中采取措施，并制定详细说明在特定情况下如何处理患者权利的指南。
