If a patient asks about their records, does your team know what to do?

A patient comes to your front desk. She says her medical report was shared without her permission. Your staff looks confused. Nobody knows who handles this. Nobody has a number to call. This is happening in hospitals across India right now. Under the new data law, every hospital must have a clear path for patient complaints. If you don't, you could face serious trouble.
Think about your hospital or clinic. A patient calls on WhatsApp. She says her Aadhaar number was shared with the wrong person. Who picks up that complaint? Does your front desk know? Does your admin team have a written step to follow? Under the new law, you need a clear four-step path. Front desk receives the complaint. Admin logs it. Compliance checks it. Leadership closes it. If this path is missing, your hospital is not ready. Fines can be very high.
Write down a 4-step complaint path and share it with all staff.
Put the Grievance Officer's name and email on your hospital notice board.
