Informed Consent 2015 - Informed Consent: When Is Consent Voluntarily, Intelligently and Knowingly Given In Health Care

Overview: Patients have the right to be fully informed regarding the nature of their medical care. By law, health professionals must explain a patient's health condition and treatment choices. What information is required to ensure that a patient's consent is voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly given? Is this level of inquiry even necessary or required? What best practices should a medical practice or providers adopt to assist patients in managing benefits and risk?
Why should you attend: Managing risk and liabilities in health care is a daily occurrence. Are you and your staff managing one of the most important patient provider relationship roles? Informed consent requires reliance by the patient on the provider to accurately and completely provide details for patient health condition and treatment options. Learn how to ensure that you have provided the very best patient education and support.
