Abstract

The relationship between the patient and the doctor will create what is called a therapeutic transaction, which is an agreement that occurs between a doctor and a patient in the field of medicine (something that contains elements or value of treatment) which includes the fields of diagnostic, preventive, rehabilitative, and promotive. In this relationship, informed consent will be obtained, namely consent, permission given by the patient, freely and rationally, after hearing and understanding information about the medical action that should be taken. Informed consent has a role as a form of autonomous right to personal freedom. The relationship between the patient and the doctor does not always run smoothly and smoothly, there are times when problems occur, one of which is the emergence of alleged malpractice claims due to the patient not being satisfied with a therapy, this is where the role of informed consent is as an instrument in solving these problems.

In this paper, we will discuss the function of informed consent and its application as an effort to prevent and minimize malpractice claims. In this study, the results showed that informed consent as a vital thing in maintaining a therapeutic transaction relationship, informed consent as an engagement between a doctor and a patient or a patient’s guardian with a doctor’s note that the doctor had implemented procedures and steps according to the medical code of ethics and medical steps.
