Abstract. Objective:To evaluate whether informed consent was obtained prior to transfers of patients from a community hospital to a Veterans Affairs medical center. Design:Cross-sectional study. Setting:A Department of Veterans Affairs medical center. Participants:Eighty-six consecutive interhospital-transferred patients. Nearly all were white men, with a median age of 62.5 years. Fifty percent had three or more active medical problems and 17% had been transferred from intensive care units. Measurements and main results:The authors defined informed consent as a discussion of benefits, risks, and alternatives to transfer. Following transfer, patients and physicians were interviewed using standardized parallel questionnaires. Physician-patient communication regarding the benefits and risks of transfer was infrequent. Informed consent was reported for none of the transfers by patient interview, compared with 11% of the transfers assessed by physician interview. Risks of transfer were discussed infrequently according to both physicians (17%) and patients (13%). Physicians perceived a risk to the patient in 21% of patient transfers, and in 36% of transfers defined by objective criteria as high-risk. Physicians recalled discussing benefits of transfer more frequently than did patients (80% vs. 42%, t test, p<0.001). Physicians also recalled discussing alternatives to transfer more frequently than did patients (61% vs. 18%, t test p<0.001). Conclusions:Verbal informed consent is obtained infrequently prior to interhospital transfer of patients. Risks of transfer are seldom perceived and discussed with patients.
