abstract = {Informed consent is the patient’s willful expression related to an intervention
to be made in his or her body. Previously the doctor must provide
accurate, comprehensive and timely information about the risks, procedures, expectations,
diagnosis and prognosis of the disease and the possible treatments.
Even though the obligations and rights of the doctor and patient derived from
informed consent are an essential element in the doctor-patient relationship, in practice
its importance is often overlooked.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the structural elements of informed consent
that are essential when requested by the doctor, as well as ambiguous situations
such as risk, informed consent in minors and persons with mental disabilities.
The article is divided in two parts. The first reviews the development of doctrine,
regarding which we analyze the concept, historic evolution and various models
(such as paternalism, autonomy and others). We also take a look at the information
problem, because in many cases the patient cannot give the authorization to perform
a medical procedure. Lastly we review the issue of risk and medical records.              The second part reviews in detail the development of informed consent in the
jurisprudence of Colombia’s Constitutional Court and State Council from 1991 to
present, with the purpose of obtaining a complete view of the concept of informed
consent, aimed at demonstrating its importance in medical practice and in preventing
unlawful damage.},
