Improving quality of the informed consent process: Developing an easy-to-read, multimodal, patient-centered format in a real-world setting.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To develop a patient-centered informed consent and assessment tool written at a 6th grade-level that is multimodal, affordable, transportable, and readily modifiable for protocol updates. METHODS:This quality improvement initiative was performed in two phases on an actively-recruiting study at a pediatric diabetes clinic. In phase I, 38 volunteers underwent the standard-paper consent process, a comprehension assessment and provided feedback. Using feedback and the structure of the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle a multimodal consent and assessment were developed. In phase II, volunteers were randomized to the standard (n?=?25) or the multimodal consent (n?=?25) and all completed the same comprehension assessment via touch-screen tablet. Primary outcomes were comparison of the individual and total comprehension assessment scores. RESULTS:Total comprehension scores were higher in the multimodal versus the standard consent group (p?
