Informed consent involves information, comprehension, and voluntariness. Effective communication requires thoughtful methods beyond “lay language” translation. We will review novel approaches; participants will create ICD risk sections.
Learning Objective : Recognize commonly-used patterns of communicating risk/benefit language that may not be patient-friendly; Demonstrate the synthesis of risk information that would be appropriate for an informed-consent discussion that incorporates best practices in patient-friendly communication.
