Using Decision Models To Automate and Individualize Interactive Patient-oriented Decision Support Aids

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: Patient-oriented decision support aids have a promising role in the delivery of health care. Most aids targeted at patients are designed to increase a patient's knowledge about the decision domain or reduce anxiety or confusion about the decision. We describe a novel approach to addressing this problem that involves an individualized decision-analytic conversation driven by real-time interaction with a decision model via a dynamically generated web site. Our approach aims to educate patients about their health values and how those values impact the decision. We also hope to facilitate shared decision-making by providing a summary report of the interaction to the patient's provider.
