Integrating Shared Decision Making in the Healthcare System
Welcome back!
Shared decision making allows room for open communication between the patient and his healthcare provider, wherein interaction and change of ideas mostly take place as they the decision-making is processed. What’s involved during this process is the provision of an informed consent by the patient to what, when and how the treatment should be implemented, and eliciting realistic outcome criteria for the planned treatment, preventing future conflicts between the patient and the care provider, encouraging and implementing autonomy on the part of the patient especially in making decisions pertaining to his health and explaining the risks and benefits during and after the treatment.
A shared decision-making is considered a good one and will most likely come up with a promising outcome if both parties, usually involves at least two participants (the health care provider and the patient, and sometimes the patient’s relatives take part in the process) are well-informed, which means that information is properly disseminated and the decision is based and reinforced with on hand substantiation, conforms with the patient’s beliefs and values, gives regard to the preferences of the patient, if the pros outweighs the cons, agreement is achieved on the decision of the planned treatment, and patient satisfaction is warranted after the decision has been made and treatment is executed.
To make it clear how both parties – the patient and the care provider take part in the shared decision-making process, the patient is the one that ventilates his or her experiences, values and preferences, and interaction takes place as the physician lays out the treatment options while weighing the pros and cons as the end does not justify the means.
Shared decision –making would be very helpful in getting the outcome that’s convenient and beneficial to the concerned party – the patient. However, not all healthcare delivery systems have adapted this concept yet. A lot of barriers still occur that can lead to poor decision making.
CallCareNet provides an environment that’s patient care oriented and eliminates the barriers to a good decision-making by building rapport to patients and clearing out the roles of both parties. The people at CareNet sets up realistic goals and objectives, values and considers the patient’s interests and expectations, lays out varying options that are more beneficial rather than not, provides freedom of choice to patients and family members, and rationalizes the agreed decision, because CallCareNet cares.
