Building a Better Informed Consent 2/20/04
February 20th, 2004
Building a Better Informed Consent, sponsored by the North Carolina Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (www.asipp.org), presented in Charlotte, NC at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
An informed consent is a great tool for a medical provider to prevent a medical malpractice lawsuit. It is a legal document that informs a patient of the procedure to be provided, the risks of the procedure, and the alternative treatments available. If a patient has an unfavorable outcome, but they were informed of risks of that outcome, it is unlikely the patient will find an attorney willing to take their case. This seminar taught participants how to draft their informed consents to provide their organization and providers with the most protection.
