Abstract

We intend for this manuscript to propose the paradigm shift in which the informed consent process starts at the clinical visit to the point of first pre-consent contact. This includes early trust-building communication and incorporating key stakeholders at pre-consent stages in this patient-centric process. The goal is to provide a more seamless experience for the participant through an improved pre-consent process, allowing ample time for discussion of available options, decision-making, and potentially more informed decision.
