Shared Decision Making
2011. Coulter A, Collins A
Shared decision making is when
health professionals and
patients work together. This puts
people at the centre of decisions
about their own treatment and
care.
It's important that:
•Care or treatment options are
fully explored, along with their
risks and benefits
•Different choices available to
the patient are discussed
•A decision is reached
together with a health and
social care professional.

The ProblemPaper, guesswork and paternalism
10Inform your decision…
Handwritten process – Lost forms,
DHSC requirement for a paperless NHS by 2023
>10 million Operations / year
>£46m Consent specific.
The apprenticeship model leads to variation, errors, and medico-legal
costs.
Changes to law – Montgomery.
£600m / year Surgical Negligence Bill
20% - Unnecessary OperationsPaternalism leads to inappropriate operating (King’s Fund research)
Potential saving = £11.6bn / year.
The law now requires:“Reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any recommended treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments.”

ConclusioneConsent & SDM
21Inform your decision…
• Consent is currently variable, prone to errors and lacks a process to encourage shared decision making
• Decisions require data to be informed and appropriate
• Electronic consent reduces variability, decreases form errors and prevents unintentional omission of risks
• Feedback loop of PRCs & PROMs will enable treatment options to be weighed against each other.
• Concentric = Data driven consent and SDM platform
