shared decision making.org (Patient as Partner)

Patient orientation and patient participation in medical decisions are becoming increasingly important in Germany. Most patients wish to be more explicitly involved in treatment decisions during dialogues with their physicians.

shared-decision-making.org can be seen as a portal for patients, physicians and other health professionals as well as academics. Its aim is to foster shared decision-making (SDM).

We wish to provide information for patients and physicians as well as other health professionals and ease their path towards implementing SDM.

We would like to network academics and provide them with a platform upon which to exchange information.
