Caring with Shared Decision Making
Victor M. Montori Caring with Shared Decision Making
The Shared Decision Making topic discusses what SDM is, how it could be practiced, the tools available to do so, and the potential benefits of implementing SDM. Our work in this area is here: http://shareddecisions.mayoclinic.org
Objectives for this talk:
-
To understand the role of shared decision making in the translation of evidence-based medicine into patient-centered care.
-
To demonstrate the use of shared decision-making tools, validated in randomized trials, and how they can support patient-centered care.
-
To review the literature on what can be expected from implementing a program of SDM in practice.
