Update on FSO Sponsored Cataract Informed Consent Form
During the 2011 Legislative session the FSO language requiring the Board of Medicine (BOM) and the Board of Osteopathic Medicine (BOOM) to create a standard informed consent form for cataract surgery was passed in HB 470. Since then, FSO has been working to develop the exact wording for the rule. The rule has been reviewed by the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee. The BOM is currently preparing a response which must be certified before the rule can be adopted.
