Abstract

This paper addresses the question of informed consent, as reflection of fundamental changing in doctor-patient relationship. Focus of the paper is actually the information in informed con-sent, which is the most problematic aspect of informed consent, since the amount of informa-tion and the manner in which the information will be transferred to patient are not yet legally regulated in the most of countries, not even in serbia. In burdened health care systems that suppose a small amount of time to each patient, least amount of time is left for informing and conversation. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to educating and enlightenment of physicians and patients in terms of importance of communication in doctor-patient relation-ship, as communication is considered to be crucial element of informed consent. considering that serbian legislator is binding upon providing only information regarding patient’s refus-ing of medical care, but providing all other information that are addressing patient’s right to self-determination and autonomy leaves to physician’s assessment, it is a question how is actually concept of informed consent applying in medical practice.
