Posted on May 15, 2013 by

This July, individuals from all over the world gathered at the 2012 Dartmouth Summer Institute for Informed Patient Choice to discuss measurement of shared decision making (SDM) in clinical practice. During the three day conference, participants had the opportunity to hear from local, national and international leaders dedicated to developing and evaluating SDM and decision support tools. The discussions were led by Summer Institute co-directors, Dale Collins Vidal and Karen Sepucha, and others including Glyn Elwyn, Elliott Fisher, Al Mulley and Annette O’Connor.

Highlights from Foundation's Winter Medical Editors Meeting

"The SDM concept dates to 1989, when two Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center physicians -- John Wennberg, M.D., and Albert Mulley Jr., M.D. -- started the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation. The next year, the foundation published its first decision aid -- a video to help patients understand the pros and cons of prostate cancer treatments. Since then, the foundation and others have produced hundreds of decision aids and SDM has gained traction steadily, mostly in primary care practices. For the last few years, the foundation has supported SDM demonstrations at Massachusetts General Hospital, Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network and other sites around the country."
