informed consent model

The informed consent model is a process where healthcare providers share all relevant information about a treatment, procedure, or intervention with a patient. This includes potential benefits, risks, and alternatives. The goal is to ensure the patient fully understands this information so they can make a voluntary, well-informed decision about their own care. It respects the patient's autonomy and right to choose, and requires that consent be given freely without coercion. Essentially, it’s about open communication and empowering patients to participate actively in their healthcare choices.
