Shared Decision-Making in Health Care Act

The Shared Decision-Making in Health Care Act promotes a collaborative approach between patients and healthcare providers. It encourages open communication, so patients are actively involved in choosing their treatment options based on their preferences, values, and lifestyle. The goal is to ensure that healthcare decisions are made with mutual understanding, respecting the patient’s rights and ensuring they have all necessary information. This process helps improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction by fostering informed, personalized choices rather than solely relying on medical expertise.
