Professional improvement from bioethics to the multidisciplinary team of care for patients with hip fracture

Abstract

Informed consent is a fundamental process in current medical practice. This research, linked to the line of research of the Cuban Bioethics Program, addresses the theoretical-practical difficulties in the application of the informed consent process, adequate communication skills and training to identify relevant information in patients with competence disorders. The implementation of a multidisciplinary team at the Frank País Orthopedic Hospital is proposed as a solution to care for geriatric patients with religious orientation who will undergo surgery for hip fracture.
