临床证据表明,许多患者接受手术,如果完全知情,他们会拒绝。未能传达相关的风险,收益和手术的替代方案违反了医学道德并浪费了医疗资源。将共享决策(提供者和患者之间的沟通方法)整合到医疗决策中可以满足医生的道德义务并减少不必要的程序。本文提出了一个实施全国性共同决策实践的三步过程:(1)创建示范整合计划;(2)提供法律的激励措施,以缓解过渡;(3)将共同决策纳入医疗必要性确定。
Clinical evidence suggests that many patients undergo surgery that they would decline if fully informed. Failure to communicate the relevant risks, benefits, and alternatives of a procedure violates medical ethics and wastes medical resources. Integrating shared decision-making, a method of communication between provider and patient, into medical decisions can satisfy physicians' ethical obligations and reduce unwanted procedures. This article proposes a three-step process for implementing a nationwide practice of shared decision-making: (1) create model integration programs; (2) provide legal incentives to ease the transition; and (3) incorporate shared decision-making into medical necessity determinations.
