Pdf Summary
This document is a summary of a webinar on shared decision making in mental health care. The webinar was part of an initiative by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The goal of shared decision making is to involve patients in the decision-making process about their healthcare. It is a collaborative approach that takes into account the patient's preferences and values.<br /><br />Shared decision making is supported by evidence-based medicine (EBM) and is essential for high-quality healthcare. It requires a positive and trusting relationship between the clinician and the patient. The process involves mutual education, where both parties share information and discuss options. The patient's input is taken into consideration, and a decision is made based on their preferences and circumstances.<br /><br />There are barriers to successful shared decision making, including a perceived power imbalance between the clinician and the patient. However, these barriers can be overcome through open and frank discussions, active participation, and a focus on person-centered treatment.<br /><br />Shared decision making has been shown to improve outcomes for individuals with mental health conditions. It promotes self-management and increases knowledge about diagnosis and treatment options. It also leads to a greater sense of control and commitment to follow through on treatment decisions.<br /><br />In conclusion, shared decision making is an important approach in mental health care. It involves a collaborative decision-making process that takes into account the preferences and values of the patient. This approach leads to better outcomes and empowers individuals to take an active role in their healthcare.
