Medical Decision Making

Medical Decision Making (MDM) is the process healthcare providers use to evaluate a patient's health and determine the best course of action for treatment. It involves assessing the patient's medical history, symptoms, and test results, and considering potential diagnoses and treatments. Physicians weigh the benefits and risks of each option, involve the patient in discussions, and aim to make informed choices that align with the patient's preferences and health goals. MDM is crucial for ensuring appropriate, effective care tailored to individual needs.
