2014 Consent Manual
The industry resource for consent and related health care law
This easy-to-use manual doesn’t just repeat the law, it explains it. The Consent
Manual is the most comprehensive and acclaimed resource available to
hospitals regarding patient consent for medical treatment. The manual starts
with basic principles of consent and moves to specific situations and patient
types including minors, mental health treatment, advance health care directives
and more. Broader consent issues such as release of information, mandatory
reporting requirements and refusal of treatment are also addressed.
This nearly 1,000-page manual contains 24 chapters, several quick reference
guides, and more than 100 forms (many in Spanish). All forms and appendixes
are available electronically (PDF) on a free CD. This year’s edition was updated
to reflect changes through January 2014 including:
