Consent forms are essential in both Brazilian and American healthcare systems, reflecting legal requirements and ethical standards. In Brazil, consent forms (formulários de consentimento) are required by law for medical procedures and research participation, regulated by ANVISA and ethical committees (CEP). In the USA, they are fundamental to HIPAA compliance and medical ethics. The formality and detail of these documents vary but serve the same protective purpose in both cultures.
