Informed Consent Process

The informed consent process involves providing a patient with clear, comprehensive information about a medical procedure or treatment, including its purpose, benefits, risks, alternatives, and potential outcomes. The patient is then given the opportunity to ask questions and consider their options before voluntarily agreeing to proceed. This process ensures that the patient makes an educated decision, respecting their autonomy and right to participate in their healthcare choices. It’s a key aspect of ethical medical practice, promoting transparency and trust between healthcare providers and patients.
