“…Involving patients in decision making about their own health care has been shown to improve health‐care outcomes including better treatment choices, improvements in care quality, 4 and be beneficial for patients’ and their families experiences of health events 5 . Despite these espoused benefits, evidence suggests that shared decision making has not yet been widely adopted by many health‐care professionals due to time constraints, patient characteristics and clinical situations 6 .…”

Objective To elicit patientsÕ views on whether they could contribute to improvements in their care by carrying their own health information to clinician encounters; and to consider the implications for the development of a patient-held health file (PHF).Background Increasing rates of chronic disease lead to health care being delivered by multiple care providers often at distributed geographic locations. As a way of increasing the availability of patient information to care providers our project will trial a PHF. Patients carry these files to doctorsÕ appointments where clinicians record data for other doctors or the patient. Increasing the availability of patient information is anticipated to enhance the safety and quality of care delivery and improve health outcomes.

“…Identifying the need for a middle ground, Quill and Brody (1996, p.768) asserted that patient choices "gain meaning, richness and accuracy if they are the result of a process of mutual influence and understanding between physician and patient." Advocacy for shared decision making has been supported by research findings; involving patients in decisions about their own health, for example, has been shown to improve the quality of care and outcomes, including better treatment choices and satisfaction (Powers, Goldstein, Plank, Thomas, & Conkright, 2000) and, can produce useful insights for both professionals and patients to use in disease management problem solving (Zoffmann, Harder, & Kirkevold, 2008). It has also been supported by patient education programs, by policy initiatives such as "patient empowerment" strategies (Department of Health United Kingdom, 2001, by communication aids such as question prompt sheets (Brown, Butow, Boyer, & Tattersall, 1999;Kinnersley et al, 2008), and by lists of competencies for shared decision making for both patients and physicians (Towle & Godolphin, 1999).…”

Decision Making in a Crowded Room

Researchers studying health care decision making generally focus on the interaction that unfolds between patients and health professionals. Using the example of allogeneic bone marrow transplant, in this article we identify decision making to be a relational process concurrently underpinned by patients' engagement with health professionals, their families, and broader social networks. We argue that the person undergoing a transplant simultaneously reconciles numerous social roles throughout treatment decision making, each of which encompasses a system of mutuality, reciprocity, and obligation. As individuals enter through the doorway of the consultation room and become "patients," they do not leave their roles as parents, spouses, and citizens outside in the hallway. Rather, these roles and their relational counterpoints--family members, friends, and colleagues--continue to sit alongside the patient role during clinical interactions. As such, the places that doctors and patients discuss diagnosis and treatment become "crowded rooms" of decision making.
