  • Examination of informed consent procedures and their implications for healthcare liability.
  • Discussion of risk management strategies within healthcare facilities.

Main Results:

  • Healthcare facilities must provide clear, case-specific information, not standard forms, to ensure valid patient consent.
  • Failure to provide adequate information can lead to flawed consent and healthcare liability.
  • Risk management is essential for optimizing safety and minimizing adverse events.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to the Gelli-Bianco law requires a shift from standardized to personalized patient information.
