SHARED DECISION MAKING WITH DECISION AIDS.
PatientPlus decision aids make Shared Decision Making simple and fun. Through the decision aid the patient gains a better understanding of the pros and cons of the different treatment options and their own preferences, even before their consult. This allows for actual Shared Decision Making by the doctor and patient.
Research shows that Shared Decision Making has many positive effects. It gives the patient treatment confidence, which results in increased patient satisfaction, higher treatment adherance and more effective and appropriate care.
Health care providers also benefit from decision aids as they get better insight in the patients’ preferences. This allows for a more personalized consult. In this way one can elaborate more on the different treatment options. Overall, a more effective and efficient consult.
