Informing patients is a hugely variable thing. It's "fast moving" at the moment to make it more digitized at least, but that isn't always clearly the best solution for patients even if it may be an improvement over the rushed PI interview and boring training video. I think what's exciting about clinical research—if only in principal!—is that a doctor has an excuse to spend more time involved in a patient's life and health. The idea of having an interview with the whole family discussing a patient's health is pretty interesting even if it comes attached with the additional burden of understanding an (often complex) trial protocol. Unfortunately, I think that the idea of being able to schedule enough time for such an interview (and doing so while wearing your best bow tie) is a rare one.
