Your source to comply with CMS’ 2007 revised informed consent guidelines.
In an effort to improve the “informed” nature of consent, The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently revised the guidelines regarding informed decision-making and informed consent. The updated guidelines may prove to be less burdensome on hospitals as they more closely reflect actual and best practices in the consent process. Despite the relaxation of certain standards, consent forms must be consistent with hospital policies and applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
