Decision Aid Delivery:
Sites integrate decision aids into their own workflow in different ways. Implementation teams will need to anticipate and overcome not only common barriers, but also clinic-specific barriers to ensure reliable delivery. Here we share short case studies that illustrate the experience of different sites that were part of the Orthopedic Shared Decision-Making Learning Collaborative.
One free online tool is the Ottawa Support tool: These tools help support people making decisions on their health. There are a list of DAs by health topic available for access.
