Abstract

Health services are a basic right of every citizen guaranteed by law. In practice, patients not only have the right to consent to informed consent, but also the right to refuse the medical procedure through informed refusal, after receiving adequate information. Informed refusal is a form of respect for the patient's autonomy and has the same legal status as informed consent. However, the understanding and regulation related to informed refusal in Indonesia is still limited. This paper highlights the importance of legal recognition of informed refusal as part of human rights and the need for special regulations to realize legal certainty in the relationship between patients and health workers.

Abstract

Informed consent is a fundamental aspect of medical practice that ensures patients' rights to receive comprehensive information before granting consent to medical procedures. In the Emergency Department (ED), the implementation of informed consent presents unique challenges due to the urgent nature of patients’ conditions. This article discusses the importance of applying informed consent in the ED, the obstacles encountered, and its relevance to potential medical disputes. The methodology used includes literature review and legal-medical analysis. It was found that in emergency situations, ethical and legal principles permit medical interventions without formal consent, as long as they aim to save the patient’s life. However, clear documentation and effective communication remain essential to prevent legal conflicts.
