Other tools and resources
The teams in Cardiff and Newcastle working on the Health Foundation’s MAGIC programme developed a series of tools to help them understand the progress they had made in implementing shared decision making, the challenges and some of the approaches to overcoming these.
This resource contains five tools designed to help individuals and teams measure their progress and understand the challenges and successes.
Tools for managers
The Ask 3 Questions campaign is designed to encourage patients to ask questions and play a more active role in decisions about their treatment and care. There are posters and leaflets and other materials which can be displayed to encourage and support people.
This audit tool provides a simple checklist to help services assess how well they are promoting materials that encourage people to Ask 3 Questions.
Tools for managers
This audit tool, developed by the team in Newcastle working on the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme, is designed for use to audit case notes for written evidence that the shared decision making process has been implemented.
Case studies
This one-page case study describes work in Cardiff, as part of the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme, using the Most Significant Change technique to understand the impact of shared decision making locally.
Case studies
This case study describes work by the Cardiff team working on the Health Foundation's MAGIC programme to develop a survey that would measure the patient's experience of shared decision making.
Other tools and resources
This brief survey is designed to get the health professionals’ views on how much they have involved their patient in decisions about their care and treatment.
Other tools and resources
This report sets out some key potential benefits of shared decision making and to what extent they are being realised without shared decision making, providing a framework and baseline against which the impact of implementing shared decision making can be measured.
Other tools and resources
This paper defines ‘decision quality’ as the extent to which treatments reflect the considered preferences of well-informed patients and are implemented. It sets out the four main elements involved in the decision-making process to ensure a high quality decision, and how these can be measured. It includes a fully-worked example of how to measure the quality of decision making for knee osteoarthritis, which can provide a template for developing materials for other conditions.
Discussion papers
This paper argues that supporting the development and routine use of measures of decision quality will provide opportunities to measurably improvethe quality of decisions, thereby leading to more patient-centered and efficient health care.
