Today there are significant discrepancies between patients’ preferences and the services they actually receive for many common health conditions. Shared decision making—a participatory process of a patient and clinician making a health care decision in the context of current evidence and a patient’s needs, preferences, and values—is an important tool to increase patient engagement. Expanding the use of the process among providers, patients, and health care systems requires a range of policy actions. Harnessing the potential of shared decision making may play an important role in improving health care delivery and controlling costs. In this forum, we discussed what shared decision making is, what consumers and providers think about the process, and potential policy levers to promote it. |
