“…This takes advantage of deadtime in clinical workflows to empower patients with information in advance and facilitate more productive and efficient consent conversations. 37 It would also provide additional risk mitigation by standardizing and documenting potential risks shared with patients for a given procedure. 20 Although many IR practices already have patient education materials, studies have found the majority are above patients’ average reading level with limited readability scores.…”

“…These tools have repeatedly been shown to improve patient understanding and satisfaction and can be incorporated into clinical workflows in manners that do not add time or an additional mental step for IRs. [35][36][37] For example, a standardized procedure-specific handout and/or video could be sent to patients digitally upon scheduling an appointment or given to them when they are waiting to discuss the procedure with their clinician. This takes advantage of deadtime in clinical workflows to empower patients with information in advance and facilitate more productive and efficient consent conversations.…”

Informed consent is an important part of the clinician-patient relationship. However, studies suggest consent practices tend to be limited in consistency and completeness. This may be particularly challenging for interventional radiology given more limited public awareness and the often fast-paced, dynamic nature of our practices. This article reviews these challenges as well as ideal consent practices and potential approaches to improve consent in interventional radiology. Le consentement éclairé constitue un aspect fondamental de la relation clinicien-patient. Cependant, des études suggèrent que les pratiques relatives au consentement ont tendance à être limitées en matière de cohérence et d’exhaustivité. Cela peut s’avérer particulièrement difficile dans le cadre de la radiologie interventionnelle, compte tenu de la sensibilisation plus restreinte du public et de la nature souvent rapide et dynamique de nos pratiques. Cet article examine ces enjeux, ainsi que les meilleures pratiques relatives au consentement et les approches potentielles pour renforcer le consentement en radiologie interventionnelle.

“…A primary goal of the consent process is to create a level of comprehension that allows patients to make, to the best of their abilities, informed judgments about their own clinical care. 8 Discussing the procedure with the patient prior to arriving to the IR department provides them a chance to process the information and ask more informed questions when face to face with the physician. Finally, the APPs discuss the usual course of the patient's diagnosis and what type of outpatient follow-up they can expect from our service.…”

The field of interventional radiology (IR) has made tremendous advances in both scope and practice since its inception in the early 1960s. With these advances, it has solidified itself as a valuable subspecialty to the medical community and, most importantly, to the patients who receive IR care. Expanding clinical services to improve care in both the pre- and postprocedural setting is a logical step in IR maturation. The use of advanced practice professionals, in the form of physician assistants and nurse practitioners, can add value in both quality of the patient experience and exposure to other subspecialties. Furthermore, a dedicated outpatient clinic provides a centralized site to evaluate patients and communicate with referring services. These additions can be a challenging value proposition, particularly when working in a combined diagnostic radiology and IR practice, but given the benefits, these are well worth the time and monetary investments.
