@womeninmedchat A1. Shared decision making for me is usually about presenting patients with the options, some information about what each would entail, and then having a discussion about their goals and preferences. Decision aids are very helpful for some of these! #WomenInMedicine

Allison Macerollo @MacerolloMD
@womeninmedchat A1 shared decision making is something I do in EVERY patient encounter. The patient and I discuss options, consider risks and benefits and I help them make decisions. I am the expert in health, but they are the expert in themselves. #WomenInMedicine
Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD @RakheeBhayaniMD
@MacerolloMD @womeninmedchat Great reply that encapsulates what my thoughts are on this subject as well! #WomenInMedicine
Farrah @fairyburger
@womeninmedchat A1: For me, it’s usually presenting my patient with the different options available, with some info on what each would entail, then exploring their goals/expectations and going from there. #WomenInMedicine

Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
#WomenInMedicine A1: it feels like the crux of palliative care philosophy is shared decision making - that is, figuring out what's important to the patient & family, what the options are, & whether any of those options align with the hopes and worries of said patient #hpm #hapc
Tania K. Arora, MD, FACS @TaniaKArora
Hi! Surgical oncologist in Georgia @MCG_Surgery A1. It is often a lengthy dialogue about what we know, what we don’t know and where we could go from here with lots of pauses for questions, overwhelmed sighs or check ins to see where we are #WomenInMedicine
Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@womeninmedchat While many decisions my patients and I make fall into this framework, some of the biggies are around cancer screening and medications (which to start, when to start). #WomenInMedicine
Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_
@womeninmedchat A1: As a hospitalist, most decisions are for acute problems. In addition to explaining the pros/cons & rationale for plans of care, I think it's very important to learn patients' preferred communication styles & who else needs to be involved (i.e. family, POA). #WomenInMedicine
Allison Macerollo @MacerolloMD
@womeninmedchat I have personally been on the receiving end of this with my mom and in the end I needed the experts opinion as the decision was so complex. We can make decisions about whether wewant treatment but not always what that treatment is. #WomenInMedicine

Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat Knowing who the patient wants to have involved in decision making is a great point. So often there's someone else whose opinion matters to the patient. #WomenInMedicine
Dr. Bowser, MD, FACS 🔥 @Dr_Bowser
@womeninmedchat A1 #WomenInMedicine It involves presenting the patient and their family with the issue at hand in plain language (often with pictures) with the options and corresponding risks / benefits and finally with my recommendations.

@womeninmedchat A1 Shared decision making requires making an effort to understand the cultural, religious and socioeconomic factors that weigh into a patient’s healthcare decisions #WomenInMedicine
Natasha Dhawan, MD @NatashaDhawanMD
@womeninmedchat A1 - #SDM involves: - Understand pt's goals - Talk about viable tx options - Asking the PATIENT how they prefer to make decisions - its a spectrum, some pts want to make their decisions and others want docs to make it - Discussing tx in the context of pt goals #womeninmedicine

Jillian Bybee, MD (she/her) @LifeandPICU
@womeninmedchat A1: For me, it is laying out all of the info:options for the patient’s family (since I take care of kids) and patient if old enough. We then walk through the options together to determine the right course. Also means be transparent when information changes. #WomenInMedicine
Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
A1 part 2 #WomenInMedicine also, shared decision making can become tricky (in any specialty) when the patient and family choose a different path than what the clinician wants to recommend. But at the end of the day, we have to figure out a way forward together.
Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai
@womeninmedchat A1: Shared decision to me is listening, understand their priorities, and barriers to their healthcare. From there, I like to establish realistic goals with their active participation. #WomenInMedicine

@KiraNewmanMDPhD @womeninmedchat Definitely. And the sooner they get involved, the smoother communication tends to go. Many patients really benefit from having those personal sounding boards to help consider the options. #WomenInMedicine

Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@ShireenNHeidari Agreed! Setting expectations for what are viable options within the way medical care is delivered in the current system is important to accomplish this. #WomenInMedicine
Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai
@womeninmedchat A1: Shared decision making essentially starts with me communicating well with my patients, ENSURING that they understand thoroughly each option on the table. Only then can they make the best decision for their health. #WomenInMedicine
Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat Yes! There are so many times where I wish I'd started off by asking about who else someone wanted to have involved before launching into a long discussion (or sometimes monologue :( ) of the different options. #WomenInMedicine

Natasha Dhawan, MD @NatashaDhawanMD
@NinaVincoffMD @womeninmedchat A1: Totally agree. All the factors you listed definitely impact how a patient may make decisions. Also important to consider is the same factors may lead to biases in how we, as docs, interact with patients. #womeninmedicine
Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@womeninmedchat A2: #WomenInMedicine It can take more time, but having to repeat the conversation because it wasn't a shared model and the patient is confused, unhappy, or disengaged takes more.

@womeninmedchat A2: I almost mentioned this in A1, YES❗️ It takes more time depending on each patients’ health literacy. #WomenInMedicine
Tania K. Arora, MD, FACS @TaniaKArora
A2. Not necessarily. All decisions are really the patients. I guide, I inform. Pictures help bridge understanding faster. Engaging caregivers is essential. #WomenInMedicine

@womeninmedchat A2 Shared decision making is my responsibility and should improve outcomes through adherence and trust in medical system. In the end shared decision making reduces overall time, costs and possibly unnecessary intervention. #WomenInMedicine

E Wickersham, MD, MS @Wickersham_Eliz
@womeninmedchat A2: Sometimes it does take more time. But it is time invested in a relationship over (hopefully) numerous touch points, to allow us to be able to understand each other in the context of the families and situations. This is #FamilyMedicine at its best. 😊 #WomenInMedicine

Devika Das, MD, MSHQS @DevikaDasMD
@womeninmedchat Q2 Incorporation into #meded training early on helps ! Requires a skill set where you can read verbal and non verbal cues during patient encounters. Allow for time to process and ask questions. Practice is key ! #womeninmedicine
Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
A2 #WomenInMedicine: misconception that shared decision making takes more time, as in the end it saves time. Much more effective to start out by asking what pt is hoping for & what they've heard so far, rather than launching into monologue only to realize 10 min in not helpful...
Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD @MVGutierrezMD
@womeninmedchat A2/ It may take more time initially, but then for future visits/decisions, it won’t. - You will know goals - You will know decision makers - You will have established rapport #WomenInMedicine
Natasha Dhawan, MD @NatashaDhawanMD
@namd4kids @womeninmedchat Good point - there usually is more than one reasonable option and that may vary greatly patient to patient. #womeninmedicine
Jillian Bybee, MD (she/her) @LifeandPICU
@womeninmedchat A2: Ultimately, takes time up-front. But builds trust and allows for goal setting that saves time in the end. I try to set expectations for coming back after rounds at a certain time to talk in-depth which saves time during rounds and lets me be efficient. #WomenInMedicine
Priya Kantesaria, MD @pskantesaria
@womeninmedchat A2: I think it is more time consuming. What I found helpful (esp when discussing birth control with adolescents or how a precedure is done) is using diagrams that are simple with the key figures. This won't work in every case, but I think it can help. #WomenInMedicine
Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_
@womeninmedchat A2: Any one discussion may take a while but informing, engaging, and activating patients in their own care will ultimately save time. SDM has many pieces but it starts with intentionally structuring the decision as a dialogue. #WomenInMedicine
Ilana Krumm @IlanaKrumm
@womeninmedchat A2: Shared decision making can take more time up front but I think in the long run it saves time. Having the care team (provider, patient, family) on the same page is so important for advancing care and helps prevent future road blocks. #WomeninMedicine
Nina Vincoff MD @NinaVincoffMD
@womeninmedchat A2 It’s about asking open ended questions. This might feel like it adds time, but in the end it saves time because it avoids misunderstandings that need to be corrected later. #WomenInMedicine
Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD
@womeninmedchat 2/ Its most effective when done with #visuals. I often wish the white boards were bigger in front of patient beds so I could draw more the different options for ex. the pros and cons of different anti-coagulation, etc. #Womeninmedicine
Jillian Bybee, MD (she/her) @LifeandPICU
@womeninmedchat Once I do this once. I don’t have to do it every day because we have already built a foundation. But families know they can ask me to talk any time, which happened to me today. #WomenInMedicine
Dr. Bowser, MD, FACS 🔥 @Dr_Bowser
@womeninmedchat #WomenInMedicine A2 I tend to spend a lot of time on this. It is important to me that my patients understand what they are deciding and that they trust me and are comfortable with me and routinely get positive feedback from patients and their families for this.
AB Alraiyes @ahalraiyes

Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai
@womeninmedchat A2: I struggled with time the most. In the clinic, it often got me very behind schedule - so I started prioritizing 1 or 2 things a visit and scheduling more follow-up, but this was not always possible for many patients. I also tried utilizing phone appointments. #WomenInMedicine
Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
A2 part 2 #WomeninMedicine I wish I had learned this earlier. Spending 5-10 min asking how people like medical info, who they want in room, what they're hoping for & worried about ultimately means we can actually make a recommendation informed by values. This is key #hpm #hapc

Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD
@DevikaDasMD @womeninmedchat Yep i think the earlier in training one gets #rolemodeling and practices shared-decision making, the less "time-consuming" it will be bc its becomes a norm of practicing medicine #WomeninMedicine
Natasha Dhawan, MD @NatashaDhawanMD
@womeninmedchat A2 - short answer: Yes Long answer: with time and repetition, it becomes faster. I am in awe of my attendings at times because they're able to predict what a patient/family may say/express at various times in the convo - making it smoother and inevitably, faster. #womeninmedicine
Farrah @fairyburger
A2: It often can take more time, but I think it’s definitely worth it in the long run, especially when you’re establishing a relationship with that patient, as it can help with future visits too. Patient education is super important and should be done more. #WomenInMedicine
Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD @RakheeBhayaniMD
@womeninmedchat A2. It can take more time in the short run, but it’s time well spent. It can also help create meaningful relationships with patients. #WomenInMedicine
Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
A2, p3 #WomenInMedicine : there are times patients/families look to us to help make decisions, where they're asking for our medical recommendation. But that rec is far more powerful when informed by what's important to the patient and family, as opposed to because we say so.

@womeninmedchat Shared decision making conversations are a part of medicine that I really enjoy because it is a time to get to know my patient better, hear about their goals and aspirations, and align with them. I love the opportunity to connect in those ways #WomenInMedicine
Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai
@IlanaKrumm @womeninmedchat Absolutely. After all of the training we survived, we should be able to skillfully handle a “difficult patient.” It’s a poor reflection of the physician & their lack of cultural competence when this is on a patient’s chart. #CulturalHumility #WomenInMedicine

@womeninmedchat I also always find it to be the most effective when I utilize the entire healthcare team including the bedside nurses, interpreters, and other members of the team. When it is a collective effort by the entire team, I find that fewer things are missed. #womeninmedicine
Allison Macerollo @MacerolloMD
@womeninmedchat A3 Pictures are my favorite. Bad drawings still are very effective. You don’t need to be a Picasso to get the point across. Limit graphs and statistics as they can be challenging with low health literacy. #WomenInMedicine
Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@womeninmedchat A3: #WomenInMedicine I love a good decision tool or handout. For some less time-sensitive decisions, I'll send my patient home with a decision tool that we've already talked through and make a plan to follow up about what questions they have and/or their choice.

Dr. Bowser, MD, FACS 🔥 @Dr_Bowser
@womeninmedchat #WomenInMedicine A3 I most often draw pictures on a white board or scrap paper. I like using a pamphlet or print out that goes into more detail so they can review it later or when they talk to family not present.
Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
A3 #WomenInMedicine: some of my favorite tools for exploring treatment prefs are the Serious Illness Conversation Guide and Best Case Worst Case Most Likely. Really helps to have a sense of hopes/worries but also visual of different potential outcomes https://t.co/wcsyyWutsB
Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_
@womeninmedchat A3: Very non-medical language. If images are helpful, I draw them on the whiteboard in the room. If decisions are being guided by specialists, I'll be with them at the bedside to ensure we are all on the same page and that the patient has space for questions. #WomenInMedicine

Natasha Dhawan, MD @NatashaDhawanMD
@MacerolloMD @womeninmedchat Yes! I recall talking a patient through why she needed CT surgery with the use of my drawing of a square heart and identifying how her MV had narrowed to a critical level, causing severe pulm symptoms - her "seeing" it provided comfort and reassurance. #womeninmedicine
Mamata Majmundar @MajmundarMD

@womeninmedchat A3. Drawing pictures. Explain mechanisms in every day language like blood flow as water flowing through pipes, etc. Also, discuss consequences of various options like a flow chart. Meet the patient where they are and determine the best way to explain your point #WomenInMedicine
Farrah @fairyburger
@womeninmedchat A3: There’s often a lottt of info covered and it’s hard to remember everything, so I like to send all my pts home w/ something tangible so they can remember what’s been discussed + know when to call/schedule follow-up. (2/2) #WomenInMedicine

@KiraNewmanMDPhD @Annie_Massart_ @vitaltalk And if anyone's looking for a visual of best case / worst case here's a diagram from one of their pubs https://t.co/EEIivxML0w - helpful to draw it out - we all hope for best case but important to put in context of what could happen and what's most likely. #WomeninMedicine A3

@KiraNewmanMDPhD @ShireenNHeidari @vitaltalk I'm not familiar w/ that app in particular. The SICG was developed by Ariadne Labs as a guide to help approach goals of care. They've crafted language based on patient feedback. #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/QFKAzqhZQi

@womeninmedchat A2: This is a great foundation to the patient care relationship at first visit. Sets up expectations from the beginning and you learn how to work together. Time well spent. #WomenInMedicine

@KiraNewmanMDPhD @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A1: When a patient comes alone but mentions a close family member, I’ve started to call the family member on speaker to include them in the conversation. I’ve gotten some great responses! #WomenInMedicine

RT @MacerolloMD: @womeninmedchat A2 Shared decision making is my responsibility and should improve outcomes through adherence and trust in medical system. In the end shared decision making reduces overall time, costs and possibly unnecessary intervention. #WomenInMedicine
Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai
@womeninmedchat A4: My go to resource is @Epocrates In residency I used Up-to-Date @UpToDate since it was free, but I preferred @DynaMed_EBSCO #WomenInMedicine
Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai
@MajmundarMD @womeninmedchat A4: Yes, the Patient info on UpToDate is great! We also have built-in instructions for certain things within the EMR that I find helpful for patients. I do wish we had more resources for non-English speaking patients #womeninmedicine
Kira Newman, MD, PhD @KiraNewmanMDPhD
@womeninmedchat A4. #WomenInMedicine I like to walk through the @ACCinTouch ASCVD risk estimator with my patient to talk about modifiable risk factors and possible approaches to management. https://t.co/au7DcxsAOA
Shireen Heidari, MD @ShireenNHeidari
A4 #WomenInMedicine - many of resources folks have already mentioned UptoDate, for onc patients https://t.co/ZBTieWqlPO - and when it's something I don't see as often, talk to colleagues who specialize in that field to see what patient facing info they turn to. #foreverlearning
Dr. Bowser, MD, FACS 🔥 @Dr_Bowser
@womeninmedchat A4 #Womeninmedicine - @VascularSVS https://t.co/vie6lRjEwQ has great resources for patients as well as an app with the published SVS guidelines. I do my best to stay up to date on the latest literature daily. I participate in discussions with colleagues on social media and IRL.

Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD @RakheeBhayaniMD
@womeninmedchat A4. UpToDate & CDC have good resources. EPIC also has some patient resources in the wrap up sections that can be printed for the patient to take home. #WomenInMedicine
