WA 11 Other Stakeholders Consumer Groups Payors, Standards Organizations, Others 12 4
5 Why the Attention to Informed Consent? 13 Legal Obligation 14 Protection against battery Under a free government at least, the free citizen's first and greatest right, which underlies all others the right to the inviolability i of his person this right necessarily forbids a physician or surgeon, however skillful or eminent to violate without permission the bodily integrity of his patient by a major or capital operation, placing him under an anesthetics for that purpose, and operating on him without his consent or knowledge Justice Brown in Pratt v. Davis, 118 Ill. App. 161, 1905 WL 1717 (Ill. App. 1 Dist.) Patient Safety 15 Analyzed the factors that contributed to all reported instances in the state of Pennsylvania during a 30-month period. A wrong-site surgery event will reach a patient once per year in a 300-bed hospital. Failure to verify consent forms was found to be a major contributor to errors resulting in the initiation of wrong-site surgery. Verifying consent documents was a common source of successful recovery to prevent wrong-site surgery. Clarke JR, et al. Annals of Surgery. 2007;246:
6 Medical Malpractice Risk Jury Awards & Informed Consent $150,000 award for failing to disclose an alternative treatment Pennsylvania/Urology Procedure. $547,000 award for a missing consent form Maryland/Laparoscopic Gyn.

A large study of 3,552 patient decisions: Only 9% met the criteria for a completely informed decso decision. For complex decisions only 0.5% were completely informed. Braddock CH, Edwards KA, Hasenberg NM, Laidley TL, Levinson W. JAMA. 1999;282(24):
7 How Are We Doing? Note: Limited descriptions Illegible handwriting Use of unacceptable abbreviations 19 How Are We Doing? A review of 540 written consent forms, from 157 hospitals, found the necessary elements of informed consent (purpose, risks, benefits, & alternatives) in only 26% of the documents. Bottrell MM, et al. Archives of Surgery. 2000;135: How Are We Doing? A review of 89 written consent forms for radical prostatectomy: The potential need for blood transfusion was disclosed on 88.8% of the consent forms. HOWEVER, proper consent for blood products was ONLY obtained in 25.8% of the cases. 92.1% of patients ultimately received a transfusion. Issa MA, et al. The Journal of Urology. 2006;176:
8 How Are We Doing? Work-arounds do not work: QA queues rely on scanning documents a step that invites the Consent Ides 22 How To Avoid the Consent Ides 23 Standardize the Informed Consent Process Case Study In September 2004, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the Electronic Support for Patient Decisions (ESPD) initiative: Use of a software application to standardize and automate the informed consent process across all VA medical centers. 24 Spotswood S. U.S. Medicine. 2005;41:1,37,44. 8
9 ESPD Initiative A provider-facing tool that produces easy-to-understand consent documents and patient education materials for >2,200 treatments and procedures. 25 Impact on Patient Satisfaction Study of 204 urology procedures. 96.1% of patients preferred the electronic system to the traditional informed consent process. 26 Issa MA, et al. Informed versus uninformed consent for prostate surgery: the value of electronic consents. The Journal of Urology. 2006;176: Obtain Consent in the Physician s Office Ensure that the process is consistent with the hospital process 27 9

11 How To Document the Process Failure to document the informed consent discussion in a supplemental note resulted in: $102, in additional legal expenses $352,000 in additional indemnity payments 31 Bhattacharyya T, Yeon H, Harris MB. J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2005; 87: Leverage the Informed Consent Process Signing a consent form need not conclude the process Leverage the informed consent process in other hospital processes 32 Universal Protocol Joint Commission s Universal Protocol For Preventing Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, Wrong Person Surgery Time Out to confirm: Correct patient Correct procedure Correct site 33 11
12 Patient Safety Opportunity 34 Employ the electronic consent document, rather than the surgical order, to verify: Correct patient Correct procedure Correct site Bring the patient into the Time Out huddle Patient Safety Opportunity 35 Case Study Use of an automated informed consent application to document the patient s understanding of procedure and site for the surgical team.
