Measuring Shared Decision Making: A review of research evidence (12 December 2012)

There is a wealth of research evidence around Shared Decision Making: its purpose, the need for it and evidence of its benefits and challenges.

This new report, in association with Capita, looks at measurement and evidence of implementation. This should support those with an interest in developing SDM, to help them to understand:

  • What elements of the decision making process should be measured, including for example, decision readiness and decision quality
  • What measures exist and what research evidence supports their use
  • What evidence is there of the implementation of these measures, and in what contexts?

The report provides a summary of the types of measures that are available, a recommendation of which measures might be appropriate for the
national programme as well as a rationale for the suggested approach.

    

Tweeting up!

The best way to keep up to date with the programme, and to engage with people about shared decision making issues, is to use Twitter.

New Patient Decision Aids put patients at the heart of decisions about their treatment (19 September 2012)

The national Shared Decision Making Programme is today (19 Sept) launching five new Patient Decision Aids, supporting patients to have more say in their healthcare.  Patients are not always made aware of all the available treatment options, and these new Patient Decision Aids present the information they need so they can weigh up the pros and cons and be fully involved in choosing the treatment which best suits their needs, values and preferences.

Could Shared Decision Making in your area inspire others? (24 August 2012)

We are building a map of where Shared Decision Making is already taking place, and we’d love to hear of examples on your patch.  The objective of the map is to share good practice and inspire other health communities to adopt the programme, support collaborative working and share learning.  Please tell us about your programme by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/T7QWV25

It’s short and sweet and will only take a moment to complete!

Delivering ‘no decision about me, without me’ in partnership with the voluntary sector (16 July 2012)

We are delighted to have been given the opportunity by the Department of Health to engage with its Voluntary Sector Strategic Partners, who speak on behalf of and represent charities across the country.

The voluntary sector has an excellent track record of supporting clients with health decisions, and we are keen to encourage their involvement in the shared decision making agenda.  The Department invited us to give a presentation on 13 June in which we highlighted the programme’s latest developments.

We are also co-hosting a national conference on 16 July to widen the conversation to a broader audience from the voluntary sector.  We have invited organisations from across the disease specific groups, along with those which support specific groups, such as older people.If you work in the voluntary sector and would like to know more about this conference, which is free to attend, please visit the
