The medical record. Informing your patients before they consent.

Abstract:

:In the language of medical liability, no concept has received as much misinterpretation as "informed consent." In the last five years, most medical liability carriers have experienced a significant increase in claims that allege failure to obtain a proper informed consent prior to treatment. The authors discuss forensic testing of the medical record and offer recommendations for record-keeping. These suggestions, if followed, will help establish the reliability of the record as an accurate reflection of the treatment of the patient in any given case.
