Re-envisioning shared decision making in primary care
Shared decision making is increasingly advocated as the best approach to patient care for many if not most medical decisions. Yet, actually implementing shared decision making in the primary care setting has remained vexingly elusive. This talk will explore the following questions: Can shared decision making include a primary care provider’s recommendation? If so, how can care recommendations be tailored to be more patient-centered?
Join us for Tanner Caverly’s lecture on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 from noon till 1 pm in person or online.
Tanner Caverly, MD, MPH, is a general internist and health services researcher at the University of Michigan and Ann Arbor VA Center for Clinical Management Research. In 2012 Dr. Caverly co-founded the Do No Harm Project – an award-winning program that uses clinical vignettes written by clinical trainees to improve recognition of the harms that can result from medical overuse. His research explores the general question: How can population evidence and clinical practice guidelines be better translated for and communicated to patients? In both his teaching and research, Dr. Caverly strives to promote the vision set out by Dr. Bernard Lown to do “as much as possible for the patient and as little as possible to the patient.”
