Summary
Shared decision-making in medicine has been defined by multiple professional societies as “a collaborative process that allows patients, or their surrogates, and clinicians to make health-care decisions together, taking into account the best scientific evidence available, as well as the patient’s values, goals and preferences.”1 This definition incorporates several important ethical principles simultaneously; it acknowledges the importance of patient autonomy. Patient autonomy incorporates a patient’s personal values and respects the degree to which he or she might wish to be involved in a decision about his or her own medical care.2 It also recognizes the critical role of clinicians as experts in actively advising patients about the benefits and risks of their available treatment options and in designing treatment plans to align with patients’ ultimate goals and preferences.
