Shared Decision-Making Aids
CenCal Health promotes certified evidence-based shared decision-making aids to our members, practitioners, and providers through routine communications and mailings.
These shared decision-making aids facilitate conversation on treatment decisions, and may also focus on preference-sensitive conditions, chronic case management or lifestyle changes, to encourage patient commitment to self-care and treatment regimens.
What is shared decision making?
Shared decision making allows patients and providers to make health care decisions together. It considers what is important to the patient—and clinical evidence—so the patient can choose what is right for them.
The following certified shared decision-making aids are available at no cost. For more information, email randal.moseley@confluencehealth.org.
