Shared Decision Making Support Tools for patients
Decision support tools, also called patient decision aids, support shared decision making by making treatment, care and support options explicit. They provide evidence-based information about the associated benefits/harms and help patients to consider what matters most to them in relation to the possible outcomes, including doing nothing.
These decision support tools are designed to support shared decision making between people and a clinician. People may find they are useful before, during or between consultations depending on their care pathway
Each decision support tool has been developed with input throughout the process from healthcare professionals, patients and the public, and presents the numbers in as clear a way as possible to help people make their own decisions about whether to choose treatments or not.
