Text

Objective: Introduction of a pilotstudy on an individualized informed patient e-consent based on a modular video clip in brain tumor surgery. This feasibility study aims to confirm the hypothesis of an improved patient understanding and time savings for the physicians. Secondary endpoint will be the aspects of legal compliance for the clinics.

Methods: Prospective, 1:1-randomized trial comparing conventional with individualized video-based informed consent between 12/2021 and 05/2022 based on a survey consisting of a questionnaire and a structured interview with patients and physicians.

Results: The first results prove an easy set-up system that continuously frees users from redundant administrative activities, achieves legal certainty and ensures a high satisfaction rate with doctors and patients. Furthermore it is easily to be integrated into daily routine as well in outpatients and inpatients.

Conclusion: Individualized video based patient education and informed consent improve comprehension rate and understandability in brain tumor surgery leading to an increased satisfaction rate during neurosurgical treatment.
