Often, patients have more than one equally effective treatment option. To ensure they get the best quality, most affordable care it is essential they work with their doctor to understand those options, so they can make the choice that is right for them. Through Shared Decision Making, patients are provided with tools and resources to help them understand their options, and the evidence behind different treatment choices. Patients also engage in discussion with their doctor. The results are better care and a better patient experience. PBGH supports Shared Decision Making in a number of ways.
