Workshop builds on March 12 release of National
Quality Forum’s shared decision making playbook
Health Dialog, a leading provider of integrated population
health management solutions for health plans, risk-bearing
providers and self-insured employers, announced today that Dr.
Peter Goldbach, its chief medical officer, will join national
advocates for shared decision making (SDM) at the National Quality
Forum (NQF) workshop, “Using Shared Decision Making to Drive
Population Health Strategy,” held on March 19 in Philadelphia. The
workshop follows the NQF’s 2017 landmark Call to Action to make SDM
a standard of person-centered care and subsequent “National Quality
Partners Playbook™: Shared Decision Making in Healthcare,” which
the NQF released March 12 at its annual conference. The Playbook is
the first of its kind to provide practical, actionable solutions to
overcome common barriers to SDM in clinical practice.
SDM is a collaborative process between physicians and patients
that may rely on the use of decision aids, which offer
evidence-based information about treatment choices to help patients
understand their options, consider their personal values and
preferences, and prepare them to talk with their provider to make a
more informed decision. More than a decade of published studies
show SDM reduces elective surgeries, reduces costs, drives better
patient outcomes and produces happier patients who are more
satisfied with their provider and their care.
“SDM’s time has come,” said Peter Goldbach, M.D., chief medical
officer for Health Dialog, a pioneer in SDM. “Extensive data,
spanning twenty years of practice, demonstrate clearly its
effectiveness in producing better health outcomes for patients
while reducing medical costs. Using SDM, patients feel empowered,
more informed and more satisfied with their care choices and care
providers. With value-based care finally upon us, there is no
better time nor method to deliver high-quality, patient-centric,
cost-effective care than through the practice of SDM.”
The NQF workshop joins the expertise of NQF’s Shared Decision
Making Action Team, 20 SDM advocates representing a diverse range
of perspectives—patient, provider and health system—with featured
speakers, including clinicians from the nation’s most mature,
successful SDM programs. Workshop speakers will discuss the
fundamental principles of SDM and share key strategies for its
successful use across a variety of care settings. They include:
