The ethos of the HSE Open Disclosure policy is to ensure that the rights of all patients to be communicated with in an open honest, timely, compassionate and empathic manner are met when things go wrong, for whatever reason, during their health care journey and that this communication process is managed in a manner that is dignified and respectful.
