Abstract :
A plan for an interactive computer-based expert-type system that would more fully inform the patient and provide legal documentation of the medical process is proposed. When combined with videodisc technology, this scheme is believed to provide a very comprehensive tool. Background information on the issue of patient consent and a brief literature review are included
