Decision aids that facilitate elements of shared decision making in chronic illnesses: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shared decision making (SDM) is a patient-centered approach in which clinicians and patients work together to find and choose the best course of action for each patient's particular situation. Six SDM key elements can be identified: situation diagnosis, choice awareness, option clarification, discussion of harms and benefits, deliberation of patient preferences, and making the decision. The International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) require that a decision aid (DA) support these key elements. Yet, the extent to which DAs support these six key SDM elements and how this relates to their impact remain unknown.

Methods

We searched bibliographic databases (from inception until November 2017), reference lists of included studies, trial registries, and experts
