Informed Consent Protocols

Meaning

Informed consent protocols are the systematic procedures designed to ensure that a patient fully understands the nature, purpose, potential benefits, risks, and alternatives of a proposed medical intervention or data use before voluntarily agreeing to it. In hormonal health, this is crucial for complex treatments like hormone replacement therapy or advanced diagnostic testing, requiring a clear, unambiguous discussion of expected physiological outcomes. These protocols are the ethical and legal foundation of the patient-provider relationship.
