Glyn Elwyn Explores "True" Shared Decision-Making With Reinertsen Audience
In a talk sprinkled with references to a favorite Minnesota icon, Garrison Keillor, Prof. Glyn Elwyn, MD, PhD, explored the nature of "true" shared decision-making with a packed audience of Minnesota health care providers, plan administrators and others at the annual James L. Reinertsen Lecture on Thursday, October 30, 2014. Emphasizing that disseminating decision aids is not equivalent to shared decision-making (SDM), Prof. Elwyn argued that SDM "...is the heart of the job, not giving the job away."
Prof. Elwyn shared information about his collaborative deliberation model; the development of option grids to more easily share treatment options with patients facing decisions about their care; and his collaboRATE™ tool being tested to measure the effectiveness of SDM efforts from the patient's perspective. At a workshop Friday morning, attendees had the opportunity to learn more and practice.
