FOUNDATION MISSION
• The mission of the Foundation is to inform and amplify the patient’s voice in health care decisions

Supported & encouraged to participate in their health care decisions
Fully informed with accurate, unbiased & understandable information
Respected by having their goals & concerns honored
WE BELIEVE PATIENTS SHOULD BE:

IS INFORMED CONSENT “REAL?”
• In a survey of consecutive patients scheduled for an elective coronary revascularization procedure at Yale New Haven Hospital in 1997-1998:• 75% believed PCI would help prevent an
MI.• 71% believed PCI would help them live
longer.

IS INFORMED CONSENT “REAL?”
• While even through the latest meta-analysis in 2009 (61 trials and 25,388 patients):• “Sequential
innovations in catheter-based treatment for non-acute coronary artery disease showed no evidence of an effect on death or myocardial infarction when compared to medical therapy.”
Trikalinos TA. Lancet. 2009; 373:9116

IS INFORMED CONSENT “REAL?”
• In a survey of consecutive patients consented for an elective coronary angiogram and possible percutaneous coronary intervention at Baystate Medical Center in 2007-2008:• 88% believed PCI would help prevent an
MI.• 76% believed PCI would help them live
longer. Rothberg MB. Annals Intern Med. 2010; 153:307.7

WHAT IS GOOD MEDICAL CARE?
• It is not just about doing things right
• It is also about doing the right thing
• Proven effective care: For some medical problems, there is one best way to proceed
• Preference-sensitive care: For many and perhaps most medical problems, there is more than one reasonable option
![Page 9: A Reporter's Guide to Medical Decision Making](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/558e2da41a28aba3468b45d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE’VE HELPED PATIENTS MAKE A GOOD DECISION?

HOW MUCH DID PATIENTS KNOW?
• Clinical experts identified 4-5 facts a person should know, for example, common side effects of medications or surgery• Respondents were asked
the knowledge questions related to their decision• For 8 out of 10 decisions,
fewer than half of respondents could get more than one knowledge question right

“DIAGNOSIS” OF PATIENT PREFERENCES

FORCES SUSTAINING UNWANTED PRACTICE VARIATION
Poor Decision Quality Unwanted Practice Variation
Patients: Making Decisions
in the Face of Avoidable Ignorance
Clinicians: Poorly
“Diagnosing” Patients’
Preferences

SHARED DECISION MAKING MODEL
• Key characteristics:• At least two participants
(clinician & patient) are involved
• Both parties share information
• Both parties take steps to build a consensus about the preferred treatment
• An agreement is reached on the treatment to implement

PATIENT DECISION AIDS CAN HELP!
• Tools designed to help people participate in decision-making• Provide information on the options•Help patients clarify and communicate the values they associate with different features of the options

COCHRANE REVIEW OF DECISION AIDS
• In 86 trials in 6 countries of 34 different decisions, use has led to:• Greater knowledge• More accurate risk perceptions• Lower decision conflict• Greater participation in decision-making• Fewer people remaining undecided

COCHRANE REVIEW OF DECISION AIDS
•Use of pDAs resulted in:• Reduced choice of major elective surgery
by 20% (N=11 trials)• Reduced choice of PSA screening by 15%
(N=7 trials)

SDM: IMPLEMENTATION NEEDS
• Patients interested in being informed and activated• Practical protocols for
routine use of decision support tools• Health care systems with
incentives for good “decision quality” rather than simply “more is better”• Clinicians and hospitals
receptive to patient participation
