[Possibilities and problems of patient education using preprinted forms for standard otorhinolaryngologic operations]
Abstract:
Since six years we have got experiences in patient's instructions by our own form-sheets concerning standard operations in the ENT-region. After having mentioned general problems of the medicolegal situation, the most important aspects of risk instruction by the 21 forms are discussed. Finally the text of all form-sheets is quoted, the final observation--identical in all sheets--is preceding. In conclusion we emphasize that especially the patient's information by form-sheets needs an additional dialogue with the patient too. The written documentation of the complete instruction is absolutely necessary as judgments show.
