The doctrine of informed consent has developed in the United
States from a simple concept to an extremely complex body of
law. Consent to Treatment: A Practical Guide is the
single-volume, complete library of patient consent topics and
solutions. Written by an experienced health care attorney and risk
manager, this leading resource helps you formulate your own
effective, voluntary and lawful consent policies and procedures, so
that you can successfully limit liability and avoid litigation.
Consent to Treatment brings health care providers,
leaders, risk managers, compliance officers and their legal counsel up-to-date
on recent case law and legislative changes while providing realistic
guidance on consent documentation and risk management.
Described as "the Bible" on consent by health lawyers and risk
managers, Consent to Treatment has been cited in over 90 law
review articles and 20 court decisions, including a landmark ruling
by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding end-of-life choice-making.
