Information on Explanation and Consent for General Medical Procedures
At this hospital, invasive treatments and examinations* will be explained in advance by the doctor in writing so that the patient and/or family members can fully understand. Please understand that a patient or family member signature is required on the “Explanation and Consent Form” when such treatment or examination is performed. If you have any questions about the explanation given by the doctor, please do not hesitate to contact us.
*(e.g., surgery and anesthesia, anticancer drug treatment, blood transfusion, tests using injected or intravenous contrast media, etc.)
For the following general medical procedures, tests, and procedures that do not place a physical or mental burden on the patient, explanations and confirmation of consent are given orally so that medical and nursing interventions can proceed smoothly. Thus, consent forms are not required in principle. In the absence of positive consent, medical staff will assume that you consent to treatment (by your presence at the hospital), but any consent can be revoked by the patient at any time by subsequent request.
This is a teaching and research hospital where we educate medical professionals and develop and conduct research into new medical treatments.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
