Bill overview
This bill, the Written Informed Consent Act, aims to improve patient safety at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by requiring written informed consent for a broader range of medications. Currently, the VA’s informed consent process primarily focuses on long-term opioid therapy. This legislation directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to expand this process to include antipsychotics, stimulants, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and narcotics, ensuring veterans receive comprehensive information before receiving these medications.
