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共同做出健康决策，讨论每种选择，其好处和危害以及患者的价值观和情况。大多数患者希望共同决策，但通常不会。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，以帮助它发生更多，使患者能够做出循证健康决策。

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.
