| Subjects: | INFORMED consent (Medical law), MEDICAL practice, PHYSICIAN-patient relations, MEDICAL personnel, CRIMINAL law |
| Abstract (English): | Introduction: The informed consent (IC) ensures respect of the patient's rights to information, freedom, and autonomy. However, when the physician neglects the obligation to inform, legal consequences may follow, including the award of damages or even imprisonment. Objective: To analyze the legal implications for a medical practitioner who fails to obtain the patient's IC. Methodology: Based on the relevant jurisprudence and legal decisions. With regards to the former, the decisions and legal precedents of the Colombian High Courts with regards to IC and medical practice were studied, emphasizing the rulings of the State Council and the Supreme Court of Justice (civil and penal chambers). With regards to the legal decisions, the analysis enabled the review, systematization and interpretation of the discussions generated around the topic of interest, pursuant to the doctrine or research on civil administrative, and criminal law. Results: There is consensus in the Colombian jurisprudence about the liability of the healthcare professional and of the state when the IC or any of its component parts is missing in the doctor-patient relationship. Nevertheless, there are different standpoints, particularly in the criminal arena, where a lack of unanimity exists with regards to this issue. Conclusion: Any violation of the IC or the lack of an IC, could give rise to the practitioner's civil liability and disciplinary actions, in addition to the administrative liability of the State, but there should be no criminal liability for the physician.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: El consentimiento informado garantiza el ejercicio de los derechos a la información, libertad y autonomía del paciente; pero cuando el médico desatiende la obligación de informar es posible que se generen consecuencias jurídicas de carácter patrimonial o incluso de privación de la libertad. Objetivo: Analizar las consecuencias jurídicas que conlleva para el médico omitir el consentimiento informado. Metodología: Se acudió a la línea jurisprudencial y a la dogmática del derecho. En cuanto a la primera, se estudiaron las decisiones y los precedentes judiciales de las altas cortes en Colombia en materia del consentimiento informado en la actividad médica, con énfasis en los fallos emitidos por el Consejo de Estado y la Corte Suprema de Justicia, Sala Civil y Sala Penal. Respecto a la segunda, su análisis permitió revisar, sistematizar e interpretar las discusiones que frente al tema objeto de estudio se han generado en la doctrina o en las investigaciones de derecho civil, administrativo y penal. Resultados: Existe consenso en la jurisprudencia colombiana con relación al tipo de responsabilidad que debe endilgarse al profesional de la salud o al Estado, cuando en la relación médicopaciente hay ausencia del consentimiento informado o de alguno de sus elementos. No obstante, en la doctrina existen diferentes posturas, en especial en la penal, donde se observa falta de unanimidad en relación con este tema. Conclusiones: La infracción o ausencia del consentimiento informado podría generar para el médico responsabilidad civil y disciplinaria, y responsabilidad administrativa para el Estado, pero no responsabilidad penal para el galeno.
