Disclosure of Adverse Events

Disclosure of Adverse Events refers to the communication of any negative or unintended effects that occur during medical treatment or research. This practice is crucial for maintaining transparency between healthcare providers and patients. It ensures that patients are informed about potential risks, allowing them to make educated decisions about their care. Adverse events can include side effects from medications, complications from procedures, or unexpected outcomes in clinical trials. Timely and honest disclosure helps to build trust and can improve overall safety by enabling better monitoring and management of risks in healthcare.
