Mastering Shared Decision Making

Patient dissatisfaction with the decision making process about their treatment options can increase the risk of complaints against a doctor.

Facilitating conversations effectively can result in more informed and appropriate decision making for patients. It can also increase a patient’s sense of ownership of the decision leading to better acceptance of unexpected or unwanted consequences after an adverse outcome.
