| Sumario: | Objective: to analyze the role of patient organizations (POs) and their modes of action regarding the implementation of rights in health care. Methodology: it is a theoretical and documentary research, carried out based on the survey of specialized literature in Google Scholar and SciELO databases, using the descriptors organização de pacientes, patient organizations e organizaciones de pacientes. As a research focus, articles on POs were analyzed. In addition, the European Union Report on Patients' Rights and the European Patients' Forum document on POs were used. Results: after prior analysis, we selected 28 scientific articles that dealt directly or indirectly with the subject of the article. The documents and articles selected made it possible to analyze the role and mode of action of POs regarding the implementation of rights in health care. Conclusions: it is necessary to broaden the spectrum of social participation of POs towards the fight for patients' rights, transforming it into a non-sectoral practice that is incident at all levels of care, resulting in better health outcomes. |
