Informed Guidance

Meaning

Informed Guidance is a comprehensive clinical communication process where a healthcare professional delivers detailed, evidence-based recommendations and a clear educational context to a patient, empowering them to make autonomous, well-considered decisions about their health management. This approach systematically moves beyond simple instruction by providing a transparent explanation of the scientific rationale, potential risks, expected benefits, and all available therapeutic alternatives. The ultimate goal is to foster a collaborative and respectful partnership between the clinician and the individual.
