Informed Consent

Informed consent for a medical practice involves ensuring patients understand the procedures, risks, benefits, and alternatives to proposed treatments or interventions.
It requires transparent communication of medical information, including diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options, in a language and manner understandable to the patient.
Patients must be provided with sufficient time to ask questions and make decisions without feeling rushed or pressured.
Consent forms should clearly outline the proposed treatment plan, potential risks, side effects, and expected outcomes.
Patients have the right to refuse or withdraw consent at any time during the medical process.
Informed consent promotes patient autonomy, trust, and collaboration between healthcare providers and patients.
