Video Summary

The video transcript features a discussion on shared decision-making in healthcare. The speaker, Patrick, talks about the benefits of shared decision-making for clinicians, stating that it allows clinicians to improve outcomes for individuals and feel that their treatment is having a positive effect on patients' lives and health.

He emphasizes the importance of meeting patients where they are in their treatment journey and involving support figures, such as family members and peers, in the decision-making process. Patrick also addresses questions about shared decision-making in acute inpatient settings and its connection to motivational interviewing, highlighting the similarities and benefits of combining the two approaches.
