Benefits

Each day patients and their families are faced with the difficult decision of electing to undergo a medical procedure. Before obtaining an affirmative decision, it is important that the health care practitioner obtain informed consent. This teleconference will educate you on how to determine whether a patient is capable of giving informed consent. This teleconference also explains who may give informed consent on behalf of the patient if the patient is incapable of doing so. In addition to informed consent for medical procedures, a researcher must obtain a valid consent prior to allowing a subject to enter into a project involving human subjects. It is crucial that the informed consent documents for human research projects contain the required elements. This teleconference will also explain the portions of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act that relate to informed consents, specifically HIPAA authorizations that should be contained within an informed consent to ensure that a patient's protected health information is released appropriately. This workshop is critical for you to ensure that you know who is capable of giving informed consent and what must be included in informed consent documents.

Learning Objectives:

  • You will be able to define informed consent.
  • You will be able to identify informed consent for medical procedures.
