August 10,2016 Chat - Shared Decision Making / Patient-Centered Care

Twenty five participants joined our moderators to discuss shared decision making and patient-centered care. We were pleased to have Kara Rayburn, Patient Empowerment Network (@power4patients) join us. You may find additional analytics here and the chat transcript here.

The questions used during the chat and some responses appear below.

T1: What would patient-centered care (PCC) look like for you? (for appointments, lab results, treatment, surgery, medical records, etc.)

  • Patient-centered care would consider treatment options based on patients' unique concerns, preferences, and values
  • Everything under one roof, team approach, easy-to-understand unified billing, easy referral to out-of-network specialists, Personhood, mutual respect, and caring go along with those services implicitly or it isn't PCC.
  •  Patent centered care means setting up medical evaluation and treatment options with a focus on where the pt is coming from
  • how about meeting me where I'm at---Text, email, phone appts.
  • or my family & myself patient centered care meant including the entire family in convos & treatment planning
  • In my dream world, PCC includes awareness that meeting mental health & social needs is a crucial element


T2: What is Shared Decision Making (SDM) in healthcare all about? Where can people learn more? What are tips for making it work?

  • It allows pts & their HC team to make decisions together-taking into acct both the best med evidence available & pts values/prefs
  • Shared medical decision making is a collaborative experience between patients and providers
  • As we move closer toward "consumers" of healthcare, #SDM allows for the patient perspective to become increasingly important 
  • DeMeester said “(SDM) occurs when patients/clinicians work together to reach care decisions that are both medically sound and responsive to patients’ preferences and values”
  • shared decision making requires informed choices...don't be afraid to ask questions and resources to learn more!
  • It sounds to me like SDM brings the values of person-centered care (Carl Rogers) to all medical settings beyond mental health.


T3: What value does a patient-centered care (PCC) / shared decision making (SDM) approach bring to patients, families and providers?

  • #PCC & #SDM allow for patients and their families to be active participants in doctor consultations
  • As a provider, I can have "tunnel vision", PCC and SDM help keep me grounded and focused on what is best for the patient
  • There is a lot to be said for knowledge, peace of mind, & comfort of care
  • "Good Outcomes" are defined by what's meaningful and valuable to the patients and their families
  • I think you can tell there has been PCC/SDM if all parties feel more satisfied and informed after an encounter
  • PCC & SDM are integral to the @GeneticCouns process: info can impact a patient & their entire family, no 1 right choice for all
  • #PCC creates value by changing infrastructure to include EHR & access to scheduling, thus strengthening the pt-doc relationship


T4: How can patient-centered care (PCC) and shared decision making (SDF) improve care at end-of-life?

  • PCC/SDM throughout the process means the end of life and discussing it don't come as a huge unexpected shock. 
  • #PCC and #SDM promise to improve the experience and quality of health care, while also reduce waste, over-treatment, and costs
  • #SDM takes relationship building so having that in place can only help in #EOL. It's uncomfortable territory for all involved.
  • shared medical decision making is the perfect way to address end of life care - help empower patients and ensure dignity
  • if the patient & their needs and wants is at the center of all discussions - May make end of life discussions easier
  • Seeing a theme: PCC & SDM are processes...they continue and evolve throughout patient & provider relationship, needs change ovr time


T5: Have you seen PCC and/or SDM put into practice? What has worked well? How have you benefited?

  • We all decided on best care for our loved one while being informed by Drs & social workers. Made horrible -tolerable
  • PCC & SDM work best when we take time to really listen. Easy to forget in the course of a busy clinic or stressful situation
  • The struggle is spending enough time to truly incorporate shared medical decision making in the context of an overbooked clinic
  • I think systems where you can get lab results online - if you want them that way - are PCC


T6: What are some of the barriers to PCC and SDM? How open to these concepts are the medical community? 

  • Time. Doctors are pressured to see many pts per day making it hard to build relationships and cover all pt concerns and issues 
  • one factor among providers that can reduce PCC can be burn out ...more and more professional societies are starting to address
  • Find the patient's perspective - the values of one patient don't match another's 
  • Patients need to realize seeing other staff is not disregard for their needs, it is to make sure their needs are met
  • Patient : ability to understand options, research them, learn it is ok to ask questions.
