What this research studies

This research aims to develop a Shared Decision Aid Navigator System (SDANS) that enhances patient-centered decision-making in healthcare. By addressing barriers to the use of patient decision aids (PDAs), the system will ensure that patients receive the right information at the right time and in the right format. The approach focuses on integrating this system within existing electronic health records to streamline access and usability for both patients and healthcare providers. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve the shared decision-making process, making it more efficient and effective for patients.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients who are actively involved in their healthcare decisions and seek to understand their options better.

Not a fit: Patients who are not engaged in shared decision-making or those who prefer not to participate in decision aids may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could empower patients to make better-informed healthcare decisions, leading to improved health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that patient decision aids can significantly enhance shared decision-making, indicating a promising foundation for this novel approach.
