This 'new ethos of patient  autonomy' has especially insisted on the routine provision of informed  consent for all medical interventions. Stronly supported by most  bioethicists and the law, as well as more popular writings and  expectations, it still seems clear that informed consent has, at best,  been received in a lukewarm fashion by most clinicians, many simply  rejecting what they commonly refer to as the `myth of informed  consent'. \u003cbr\u003e  The purpose of this book is to defuse this seemingly intractable  controversy by offering an efficient and effective operational model  of informed consent. This goal is pursued first by reviewing and  evaluating, in detail, the agendas, arguments, and supporting  materials of its proponents and detractors. A comprehensive review of  empirical studies of informed consent is provided, as well as a  detailed reflection on the common clinician experience with attempts  at informed consent and the exercise of autonomy by patients. \u003cbr\u003e  In the end, informed consent is recast as a management tool for  pursuing clinically and ethically important goods and values that any  clinician should see as meriting pursuit. Concurrently, the model  incorporates a flexible, anticipatory approach that recognizes that no  static, generic ritual can legitimately pursue the quite variable  goods and values that may be at stake with different patients in  different situations. Finally, efficiency of provision is addressed by  not pursuing the unattainable and ancillary. Throughout, the  traditional principle of beneficence is appealed to toward  articulating an operational model of informed consent as an  intervention that is likely to change outcomes at the bedside for the  better. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048142194\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8122-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 169\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398663794828,"sku":"9789048142194","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048142194.jpg?v=1775754663","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048142194","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
