Obtaining Truly Informed Consent: Real-life Situations for All Team Members

It is not uncommon to assume that signing admission forms finalizes informed consent. However, informed consent is not a one-time signature; it is an ongoing process. What does that really mean? Who can sign and who cannot? How does assessing decisional capacity relate to informed consent? Throughout the process, hospice team members are required to disclose both the benefits and risks during the end-of-life care. Are your team members aware of the risks? This webinar will use real-life scenarios to explain truly informed consent and how to avoid potential pitfalls.

This informative webinar is designed for all members of the hospice team, including leadership, social workers, chaplains, bereavement personnel, nurses, clinical managers, volunteer coordinators, and anyone else involved in patient care.
