9 If you sat at a restaurant table and the server ungraciously plunked down a dish without the benefit of giving you a menu, you d walk out. I would. Yet in medical care today, this is routine.

10 What is Shared Decision Making (SDM)? Collaborative process between patient and provider Takes into account patient values and preferences framed within scientific evidence

11 Shared Decision Making (SDM)? SDM honors both the provider s expert knowledge and the patient s right to be fully informed of all care options and the potential harms and benefits. This process provides patients with the support they need to make the best individualized care decisions, while allowing providers to feel confident in the care they prescribe.

12 Shared Decision Making - Project Goals Fully inform patients about preference-sensitive conditions using Decision Aids Conditions that have multiple treatment options No clear evidence that one option is superior. Decision for which option to choose is based on preference of physician & / or patient Evaluate impact of Decision Aids on decision quality Using before & after surveys Evaluate patient satisfaction with the process

13 Shared Medical Decision Making Fully informed patients Will choose the best plan for themselves, yielding better outcomes Will often choose less expensive options Have greater satisfaction in their treatment plans

14 Decision Aids We Are Distributing At all 8 pilot clinics Hip OA Knee OA Acute Low Back Pain Chronic Low Back Pain Colon Cancer Screening 2 Advance Directives programs 35 topics now available

15 Decision Aids (DAs)

16 Decision Aids (DAs) DAs are designed to Complement, not replace, counseling from health care professional Use real patient interviews IMDFoundation does not accept funding from any source with financial interest in any particular approach to medical testing or treatment.

17 Preliminary Process Tracking and Illume Data as of 1-July-2012 Mercy Clinics: Distribution and Returns for Viewing Worksheets Response Rate 51% HIP % KOA % ALBP % 43% CLBP DIA Distributed Returned 38% MENO % Other N Distributed = 1374 N Returned = Mercy Medical Center, Mercy 9/21/12 Clinics, Inc.

18 Unweighted data submitted to Illume data warehouse as of 1-Aug-2012 Most patients who were not sure before the DA chose a leaning afterward Of these, more leaned toward nonsurgical treatments than surgery after the DA

19 Informed consent Definition of informed consent: informare, to give form, consentire, to sense permission obtained from a patient to perform a specific test or procedure. Signed consent should be obtained by the person performing the procedure. By law, informed consent must be obtained more than a given number of days or hours before certain procedures. An individual must be of a certain legal age to give consent; laws vary from state to state. Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. 2009, Elsevier.

20 How is SDM different? We have always encouraged our patients to ask questions but about what? What if they don t know the right questions to ask? SDM allows the patient identify appropriate questions that can be asked in a conversational setting with their provider.

21 How is SDM different? Takes place prior to procedure during a more relaxed, comfortable time Allows time for the patient to process new information and identify questions or concerns Allows for family involvement in the decision process. Does not consent to a procedure, but is simply a supportive tool

22 To, For, & With Informed Consent Shared Decision Making Things we do TO the patient What we do WITH the patient! Things we do FOR the patient

23 How is SDM different? Shift from: Patient as a consenter to care / services Patient as partner

25 Chronic disease from the patient s perspective Word cloud of one word descriptors from a recent discussion of patients on the website

PMCC are at greater risk for complications during invasive screenings or surgical procedures Treatment decisions take on more weight with PMCC High risk patients need amplified attention that the providers don t always have the time to give
