description Objective: to show the influence of patients' principles and rights on the process of disclosure, which is commonly associated not with these rights but with professional and institutional obligations. Methods: this is a theoretical research that aims to contribute to the field of patients' rights and to participate in its consolidation and practical impact. The theoretical framework was divided into two axes: i) disclosure and disclosure culture; ii) patients' rights. Results: the positive aspects of disclosure when integrated into patients’ rights are: i) disclosure is an important aspect that affects patient engagement and participation; ii) it increases patient/family trust in the health care institution; iii) it contributes to improving the quality of health care; iv) it relieves the health care professionals involved in the adverse event of their guilt; v) patients are financially compensated more quickly and appropriately. Conclusion: disclosure is the appropriate, transparent, and compassionate response to an incident that causes harm to the patient and a tool to enforce the patients' rights.

Resultados: los siguientes aspectos positivos de disclosure se destacan cuando se integran en la Ley del Paciente: i) disclosure es un aspecto significativo que impacta el compromiso y la participación del paciente; ii) aumento de la confianza del paciente/familia en la institución de salud; iii) contribuye al aumento de la calidad de la atención en salud; iv) alivio de la culpa del profesional de la salud involucrado en el evento adverso; v) los pacientes son compensados económicamente de forma más rápida y adecuada.
