Because patients are knowledgeable and have concerns about the risks of proposed therapies, including transfusion, and are interested in possible alternatives, they are becoming more involved in their own health care. Legal decisions support the patient's interest. Since 1996, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has specifically required that institutions document informed consent for transfusion. These regulations emphasize the need to establish a practical approach to achieving this process so that physicians and institutions appropriately inform patients and adequately document the patient's choice.
由于患者知识丰富，且对包括输血在内的拟议治疗风险有所担忧，并对可能的替代方案感兴趣，他们正越来越多地参与到自身的医疗保健中。法律决定支持患者的权益。自1996年以来，医疗保健机构认证联合委员会特别要求各机构记录输血的知情同意情况。这些规定强调需要建立一种切实可行的方法来实现这一过程，以便医生和机构适当地告知患者并充分记录患者的选择。
