Can implementing patient-informed consent procedures protect you and your acupuncture practice?
Informed consent is the process in which a healthcare provider educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a given procedure or intervention.
Along with complying with your state licensing board, getting informed consent can also protect you in the case of a claim.
While acupuncture is generally very safe, even the most careful practitioner will have some patients who do not respond well to care.
Properly using Informed consent is a valuable procedure to protect the patient, you, and your practice.
Remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
