Introduction
Informed consent is a keystone of medical care, involving a thorough discussion of the procedure, risks and benefits involved, and reasonable expectations for patients. 24% of malpractice suits in the field of spine surgery are attributable to insufficient informed consent. Numerous studies indicate that informed consent is frequently inadequate. Multimedia aids have been shown to enhance patient comprehension and satisfaction. This study assessed experience at multiple centers with a platform that delivers multimedia videos and utilizes artificial intelligence to ensure patients view the entire video while maintaining attention before signing a digital consent. A permanent videographic record of the patient viewing the video is created for the purpose of reducing malpractice exposure.
