Abstract

Shared Decision Making (SDM) is a patient centred approach where the decision making between clinician and the patient is informed. It is based on merging patient preferences with clinical expertise towards improving care and enhancing quality, satisfaction and outcomes. Respecting mutual attitudes and informed consent, SDM is based on patient values and evidence based options. Brochures and other such decision aids help understanding and participation. Challenges include time limits, low health literacy and cultural barriers, and opportunities for SDM in training, policy support and in technology. This transformative model will further be optimized by getting further advances in AI, personalized medicine and behavioral science.
