Description of CME Course
The informed consent process varies widely across gastroenterology practices. A member survey conducted by the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) showed that physicians routinely delegated the process to another person 30% of the time. The report also revealed that of the survey respondents who had been sued, 42% involved the informed consent process. Complications of GI procedures are not common, but when they occur, the informed consent process comes under scrutiny. This monograph will provide case examples, claims data, and professional guidelines to assist busy GI practices to systematically embed good patient selection and shared decision making into their informed consent process.
