Access consent and after‑care documents for the IR practice setting
SIR’s patient engagement resources include procedure-specific informed consent forms and discharge instructions that enhance patient understanding while protecting IR practices. The consent forms outline benefits, risks, alternatives and post-procedure expectations in clear, accessible language—helping patients make informed decisions and safeguarding providers. Discharge instructions offer practical guidance on home care, recovery, and when to contact the IR, ensuring continuity of care and reducing unnecessary follow-ups. These tools support transparency, safety, and operational excellence across diverse practice models.
