What must a medical office assistant consider when acting as a witness to a patient signature of consent for treatment form?
When acting as a witness to a patient's signature on a consent for treatment form, a medical office assistant must ensure that the patient fully understands the information presented in the form, including the nature of the treatment, risks, and alternatives. The assistant should confirm that the patient is signing voluntarily and not under duress. Additionally, they must verify that the consent form is completed accurately and that all parties involved are present and informed. Lastly, the assistant should document the witnessing of the signature appropriately in the patient's medical records.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of information should you share with your patient before proceeding with medical treatment in order for the consent to be considered informed?
the "informed consent" should consist of : 1.) procedure to be performed 2.) location of performance of planned procedure 3.) signature of physician 4.) signature of patient 5.) signature of "witness" (this could be parent/guardian if pt. is a minor, or perhaps the doctor's assistant.....someone in room who witnesses the signatures being written) Just so you know, and this is what confuses ALOT of patients....the informed consent DOES NOT have to itemize any possible complications or side effects of the planned procedure!!!
