Dra. Maria Tormo Dominguez, Head of the ICB Monthly Case Department:
“In this month's issue, we examine the use of so-called “nudges” in healthcare. Nudges can be used as long as they do not amount to manipulation or coercion, because the final decision, even if not shared by professionals, always rests with the competent and well-informed patient.
In the recommended course of action, we emphasize that it is not advisable for the resident to inform the patient against the indicated plan provided by the Physician in charge. “
