importance of the

patient role

Stage 2:

Knowledge and

confidence

necessary to take

action

Stage 3:

More likely to:

Adhere to treatment regimens, get preventive care,

participate more in decisions about their care, engage in

healthy behaviors, seek out and use health information,

when controlling for health status, gender, age, and

income level.

More likely to:

Use EDs, be hospitalized, have

higher costs of care, have poorer

health outcomes across a variety of

diseases, have unmet medical needs

and delay care.

EXAMPLES OF SELF-

MANAGEMENT

EDUCATION/SUPPORT

• Interactive Patient Education

• Motivational Interviewing

• Shared care plans (with collaborative goalsetting)

• Shared Decision Aids

• Self-triage tools

COCHRANE REVIEW:

DECISION AIDS

Decision Aids for People Facing

Health Treatment or Screening Decision.

(N= 105 studies including 31,043 participants)

Results:

• increased knowledge (MD 13.27/100; 95% CI 11.32-15.23)

• improved accurate perception of risks (RR 2.10, 95% CI 1.66-2.66)

• lower decisional conflict d/t feeling uninformed (MD -9.28/100 95% CI -12.20 to

-6.36)

• reduced proportion of people who were passive in decision making (RR 0.68;

95% CI 0.55 to 0.83)

• unknown effect on visit time – 2.6 minutes longer (24 vs. 21 min)

ACTION PLANS

SIM REQUIREMENTS

SIM:

• Implement shared decision making tools or aids in two health

conditions, decisions or tests as component of shared decision-

making, one of which in primary care must be related to BH and in

CMHC must be related to physical health.

• Track use of shared decision making aids using one of the following

methods:

1. A metric tracking the proportion of patients and families

eligible for the decision aid who receive the decision aid; OR

2. Quarterly counts of patients and families receiving individual

aids.

ENGAGING PATIENTS AND

FAMILIES IN PRACTICE

TRANSFORMATION

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND

When patients assist in selecting quality improvement topics the

choices they make are more aligned with core components of the

Chronic Care Model. Time to reach consensus is only minimally

increased (by 10%).
