Do doctors need consent forms to talk each other?

Doctors do not need consent forms to talk to each other about a patient's medical condition. They are bound by patient-doctor confidentiality and are ethically and legally obligated to share relevant medical information with other healthcare professionals involved in the patient's care. When multiple doctors are involved in a patient's treatment, collaboration and communication among them is crucial to ensure effective and high-quality healthcare. Therefore, consent forms are generally not required for doctor-to-doctor communication for the purpose of providing medical care. However, in some specific situations, such as sharing sensitive information beyond the patient's immediate care team, additional authorization or permissions may be required to protect patient privacy.
