Professional judgment is critical in making sound decisions…
when addressing client-centered outcomes (patient values)
“by patient values we mean the unique preferences, concerns and expectations each patient brings to a clinical encounter and which must be integrated into clinical decisions if they are to serve the patient” David Sacket
(not always “ideal solutions”…context of “consumer” resources, biases, choices, preferences)
