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.
For sites who are looking for decision aids to use, the Ottawa Health Research Institute has an inventory of DAs by health topic. The Washington State Health Care Authority also has a helpful handout on how to evaluate the quality of decision aids.
Resources:
The 14 participating sites created short case summaries, with information on the site, the implementation team, workflows, successes and barriers.
The sites included in these case summaries include:
- Massachusetts General Hospital: Arthroplasty
- Massachusetts General Hospital: Spine
- Brigham and Women’s Hospital: Arthroplasty
- Newton Wellesley Hospital Arthroplasty at Kaplan Center
