Shared Decision-Making
Shared Decision-Making is a collaborative process where patients and healthcare providers work together to make informed choices about treatment options. This approach emphasizes the importance of patient preferences, values, and individual circumstances, ensuring that decisions reflect what matters most to the patient.
In this model, healthcare providers present relevant information about medical conditions, treatment options, and potential outcomes. Patients are encouraged to ask questions and express their concerns, leading to a more personalized care plan. This partnership fosters better communication and can improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes.
