The hospital is likely simply going by the wishes of the immediate family that is present at the scene. Since a person could be ANYONE when calling by phone, it is not unreasonable for the hospital to make such an arrangement relying on the family at the scene to provide the code to family members.
If your husband wants information, perhaps he can get it from his family and not from the hospital. If he has some concern that there is some funny business going on with finances, he should engage an attorney. But, if the patient put his mom and his sister in charge of his health decisions (presumably financial power of attorney as well), than there is little that can be done to change that unless it can be shown that the POA was falsified or that it was not freely and knowingly given in some way.
