The Changing Nature of Informed Consent
Good communication, patient education and documentation is essential in this informed consent model. Many recent studies now show that there is a disconnect between what physicians "say" and what patients actually "hear" concerning the risk/benefits of treatment options. This CME activity explores the current environment using case studies and recommends risk management strategies.
