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

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
