Informed ConsentFrom: Dr. Ainsworth (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Fri Sep 16 20:05:35 2005
I was told recently by hospital's risk management that during surveys, CMR is now requiring documentation in the chart of a "procedure specific" informed consent form, initiated in the doctor's office to track the informed consent process, similar to the consent forms we are required to give to patients for sterilization and hysterectomies. I also heard the same information in a CME discussion from John's Hopkins. They both concurred that no longer will it be adequate to simply document in a progress note or H&P that "the procedure, alternatives, risks and benefits were discussed and the patient's questions answered." Are others getting the same directions and how are you addressing it? It seems ludicrous for every physician in the country to reinvent this process for every procedure. Either our medical societies or our speciality societies should be able to produce samples of documentation we all can use.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
