About the Presentation
The care of patients with chronic conditions presents a challenge to the practice of medicine. In these cases, identifying the necessary evidence and translating it to improve patient care can be difficult. The questions facing patients and clinicians – such as what is best for me and for my family? – cannot be answered with confidence because of uncertainty about the relative impact of available interventions, uncertainty about what patients value in their life and for their care, and uncertainty about the impact of care on their lives and vice versa. Clinical science has responded with two innovations: shared decision making and minimally disruptive medicine. In this lecture, Dr. Montori presented on what is and what is not shared decision making, what kind of evidence is required to support patients and clinicians, and what challenges are associated with providing minimally disruptive care, particularly for complex patients with multiple chronic conditions.
