Overview

Narrative review highlights communication strategies to promote informed consent and patient autonomy.

Key Points

  • Deception undermines patient trust and autonomy, leading to serious implications for healthcare outcomes.
  • Ethical principles like honesty and respect for autonomy are vital in ensuring effective communication strategies.
  • Legal frameworks, including those from the American Medical Association and the UK General Medical Council, mandate truthful disclosure.
  • Evidence-based communication approaches, such as SPIKES and formal error disclosure policies, foster transparency in clinical practice.
