In an era of health system reform, the imperative has emerged to reassess and reevaluate how medical decisions are made between physician and patient. Studies have long demonstrated that current informed consent practices do not adequately serve patients or physicians, and with an increasing focus on patient-centered healthcare, there is growing recognition in the medical community of the need for tangible change.
For physicians, the informed consent process is an area fraught with difficulty. Explicit barriers such as time pressure and complexity of information, and implicit barriers such as patient health literacy and optimism bias make obtaining truly informed and consensual medical decisions almost beyond reach.
Shared medical decision making (SDM) offers a promising framework for physicians and healthcare institutions alike, in which physicians can maximize the value of physician-patient interactions, lower instances of patient claims and liability, foster better patient and physician satisfaction, and above all else, realize the highest ideals in the practice of medicine.
Join Stanford Risk Consulting and a panel of national experts and industry leaders in an exploration of the ethical and legal foundations of informed consent practice and the evidence-based case for shared medical decision making. Participants will also receive an overview of available cutting-edge SDM resources, as well as strategies and techniques that can be utilized in the practice setting.
