Shared Decision Making - 2020 Quality Summit presentation (Non-CE)-Shared Decision Making

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Amanda Jensen, the Structural Heart Navigator at Manatee Memorial Hospital, discusses the shared decision-making process with Watchman. Shared decision making involves patients and their providers collaborating to make healthcare treatment decisions based on scientific evidence and the patient's values and preferences. The participants in a shared decision-making process can include the patient's primary care physician, cardiologist, and specialists from various fields such as neurology, hematology, gastroenterology, and urology. It is important to ensure proper documentation and justification for the need for Watchman when reviewing referrals. Various methods, such as using shared decision-making forms or involving non-implanting physicians, can help obtain the necessary documentation. Educating referring physicians and their staff about referral processes and providing resources can also facilitate the shared decision-making process.
