Patient Decision Aids Request Form
Decision aids are patient-based tools developed to support and streamline the medical decision-making process. Randomized clinical trials have shown that the use of decision aids improves decision quality.
Decision aids should include evidence-based information about all viable treatment options, a balanced value-neutral presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and information related to the patient perspective to help patients clarify their preferences and values about treatment.
Decision aids can be paper-based or electronic; electronic decision aids can be delivered through a variety of technology, including Internet, office-based kiosk, or recorded media.

If your health plan, health care provider or employer is a Health
Dialog member, you may access the Shared Decision-Making
programs through that process. If not, you may request a review
copy from the Foundation. We ask that you complete a patient
rating questionnaire and return both the questionnaire and the
program to the Foundation. To request a program contact us.
