Description
Informed consent and informed refusal continue to be overlooked
sources of liability risk in medical practices. Protect yourself from a
damaging lawsuit by joining the risk management experts with the Cooperative of
American Physicians (CAP) for a free one-hour webinar addressing all that you
should know about an effective consent process, including best practices for proper
documentation and meaningful patient discussions to ensure optimal education
and understanding.
As a result of this CME activity, learners should be able to:
- Identify the required elements of the consent discussion
- Utilize effective communication techniques (teach back, open ended questions, etc.) using common language to encourage patient engagement in consent conversation.
- Integrate appropriate education materials/strategies based on identified cultural or language issues.
- Define informed refusal and recognize when it should be memorialized in the record.
- Understand the risks of failing to obtain proper informed consent.
- Utilize effective communication to identify factors that contribute to patient hesitancy to consent for necessary treatment.
All registrants will receive the recording and slides once they are available. Register now to access these materials automatically after the live webinar.
