The DECISIONS study: synopsis of evidence for shared decision-making and quality patient–provider communication

Author: Molly Jean Ferguson, MPH

Published in: Translational Behavioral Medicine | Issue 2/2011

Abstract

The second column on Evidence-Based Behavioral Medicine (EBBM) has two goals. First, we describe the importance of patient–provider communication and shared decision-making as integral components in EBBM. Second, we provide a synopsis of the DECISIONS study’s findings on patient knowledge and prevalence of decision-making in order to illustrate the role that patient involvement in health care decisions plays in quality health care.
