Informed consent has been the central model for ethical decision making in clinical care and research. The goal of informed consent is to protect the right of a competent person to make his or her own health care decisions based on personal values and goals. But changes in health care practices, systems, and research have challenged this well-established goal. This paper examines these changes to show that decisions about care and research directed to individual patients rely more and more upon a population perspective. As a result, efforts to promote patient choice should attend to the ethical decision-making processes of institutions that create and sustain this perspective
