PFE Metric 2: Shared Decision-Making (Point of Care)

How do you know if your practice supports the opinions of patients and their families?

What is the intent of the Share Decision-Making Metric?
Intent: The intent of this metric is to ensure that patients (and their families according to patient preference) are authentically part of the care team.
