Should Medical Decisions Be Shared By Doctors And Patients?

Should Medical Decisions Be Shared By Doctors And Patients?

Jun 02 2008 | comment(s)

In today's world, patients have the opportunity to become more knowledgeable, sometimes increasing problems (diagnosing themselves) and sometimes causing impatience with hurried doctors who don't want to argue but most often a better understanding of the issues is good for everyone.

Due to that, there is growing interest in shared decision-making (SDM) in which the clinician and patient go through all phases of the decision-making process together, share treatment preferences, and reach an agreement on treatment choice.
