Physicians must now prove adequate patient information was provided, a shift impacting medical responsibility. While cardiologists effectively inform patients about procedures, obtaining written proof of consent remains a challenge.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Law
  • Cardiology
  • Patient Communication

Context:

  • Recent legal harmonisation shifts the burden of proof in medical responsibility cases to physicians.
  • Physicians must now demonstrate that comprehensive patient information has been adequately provided.
  • This presents a significant challenge in current medical practice.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the current practices of patient information disclosure among cardiologists in both public and private healthcare settings.
  • To identify the types of cardiovascular investigations for which patient information is most frequently provided.
  • To assess the methods and timing of information delivery by cardiologists.

Summary:

  • Cardiologists frequently provide information for complementary investigations, particularly for invasive procedures like exercise stress testing, transoesophageal echocardiography, coronary angiography, and cardiac pacing.

  • In 92% of cases, the prescribing or operating physician delivers this information, typically the day before the procedure, with oral explanations in about 90% of instances.
  • While patient information delivery appears robust, the compulsory nature of written patient consent is not yet established, complicating the proof of information.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the need for standardized procedures to document patient information and consent in cardiology.
    • Informs legal and medical professionals about the practical challenges in verifying patient understanding and consent.
    • Suggests potential areas for improving medico-legal documentation in healthcare to meet new jurisprudential standards.
