A case for Patient Consent Information Sheet

Informed consent risk sheets are standardized documents that outline potential risks, benefits, and alternatives of medical procedures or treatments. They aim to:
- Enhance patient understanding
- Standardize the consent process
- Provide documentation of disclosure

Evidence suggests these sheets can reduce medico-legal risk by:
- Improving patient comprehension, leading to better-informed decisions
- Creating a clear record of information provided to patients
- Standardizing the consent process across practitioners
- Addressing common areas of litigation in a proactive manner

Studies have shown that using structured consent forms can lead to:
- Increased patient satisfaction
- Better recall of risks and benefits
- Reduced anxiety about procedures
- Fewer legal claims related to inadequate informed consent
