Shared Decision Making
Patient Centered Care (PCC) is a prevalent healthcare policy approach in Western countries. PCC emphasizes the importance of treating patients as people and involving them in their care. This involvement is critical in various medical situations, and especially in chronic conditions where ongoing collaboration with open dialogue is required for treatment success. Due to the importance of shared decision making we study this process with different populations (e.g., mental health, diabetes) and from different participants perspectives (patients, family members and healthcare professionals). We focus on policy change, through national review papers to identify the barriers to its implementation.
