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.

Patient engagement in ACO practices and patient-reported outcomes among adults with co-occurring chronic disease and mental health conditions.
The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which practices with patient-centered cultures, greater shared decision-making strategies, and better coordination among team members have better patient-reported outcomes for patients with diabetes and/or cardiovascular and comorbid mental health diagnoses. The study concluded that Accountable Care Organization patients with comorbid physical and mental health diagnoses report better physical functioning when practices have patient-centered cultures.
