Abstract

Modern medical practice increasingly requires us to think beyond the confines of the doctor-patient relationship to other stakeholders. Problems and issues that can be identified as being of interest to a number of people are defined as "focal entities". Stakeholders are those with an interest in the outcome of the problem or issue. The salience of stakeholders is defined by their power, legitimacy and urgency. The process of thinking about stakeholders can help to clarify our ethical thinking about matters of importance to people beyond the doctor-patient relationship.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
