Missing ingredients in shared decision-making?
This article discusses the practice of shared decision making (SDM) for clinicians when making decisions in health care. This widespread practice is considered the best approach for person-centered care, but for individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness there are still many barriers to effective collaboration. The authors suggest that more emphasis needs to be placed on the doctor-patient relationship itself conducting SDM.

Prime time for shared decision making.
To guide the implementation of high-quality and achievable shared decision making, policy makers and health systems may consider the following key steps: 1) clearly define shared decision making; 2) certify decision aids and provide incentives for their evaluation and maintenance; 3) promote competency in shared decision making; 4) develop measures of shared decisionmaking; and 5) foster a culture of shared decisionmaking through easy additions to work flow and positive incentives.

Barriers and facilitators to patient-provider communication when discussing breast cancer risk to aid in the development of decision support tools.
The investigators identified barriers and facilitators to patient-provider communication when discussing breast cancer risk to aid in the development of decision support tools. They found that barriers barriers are time constraints, lack of knowledge, low health literacy, and language barriers, and that facilitators are information needs, desire for personalization, and autonomy when communicating risk in patient-provider encounters. These results will inform the development of a patient-centered decision aid (RealRisks) and a provider-facing breast cancer risk navigation (BNAV) tool.

A randomized controlled trial of a CPR and intubation video decision support tool for hospitalized patients.
The researchers examined the impact of a video decision tool for CPR and intubation on patients’ choices, knowledge, medical orders, and discussions with providers. They found that seriously ill patients who viewed a video about CPR and intubation were more likely not to want these treatments, be better informed about their options, have orders to forgo CPR/ intubation, and discuss preferences with providers.
