Using shared decision making to improve the appropriateness of healthcare for individuals and the system

共同决策是指患者和临床医生在讨论了每种选择、其利弊以及患者的价值观和情况后，共同做出健康决策。大多数患者希望能够共同做出决定，但通常情况下并不是这样。其中一些原因包括临床医生和患者缺乏培训机会和资源。这项研究将开发干预措施，以帮助更多地发生这种情况，以便患者能够根据证据做出健康决定。

Shared decision making is when a patient and clinician jointly make a health decision, having discussed each option, their benefits and harms and the patient’s values and circumstances. Most patients want shared decision making to occur, but it usually does not. Some of the reasons include lack of training opportunities and resources for clinicians and patients. This research will develop interventions to help it occur more, so that patients can make evidence-informed health decisions.
