Resumen
Este artículo tiene como objetivo reconocer la acción del estado frente a la figura del
consentimiento informado en servicio de salud, como eximente de responsabilidades a partir de un
análisis jurídico. El consentimiento informado desde la parte médica se entiende como la
aceptación de manera autónoma que tiene el paciente sobre un procedimiento o tratamiento que se
le practicará. De igual manera, se presenta en la praxis algunas dificultades respecto a su propósito,
lo cual es una situación susceptible de análisis. Para ello, se toman las posturas legales en la ley
23 y pronunciamientos del Consejo de Estado, corte suprema de justicia y corte constitucional.
Respecto a la metodología utilizada fue una revisión documental, se llevó a cabo un análisis que
se centró específicamente en artículos confiables. Este análisis es fundamental para analizar los
alcances jurídicos del consentimiento informado como eximente de responsabilidad.
Adicionalmente, para el desarrollo del presente artículo se tuvo en cuenta de qué manera se lleva
a cabo en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano.
La revisión realizada dio como resultado que en el país se implementa el consentimiento informado
para evitar sanciones penales o indemnizaciones económicas. Además, existen ciertos eventos que
eximen la responsabilidad médica. Finalmente, esta revisión es fundamental debido a que permite
que se sea consciente de la importancia de la implementación de dicho consentimiento informado
en el área de salud para así evitar negligencia médica.
