Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Piers Mofrad discusses the CMS-mandated shared decision-making process in healthcare. He explains that shared decision-making is a more equitable way of discussing the risks and benefits of medical procedures with patients, allowing for patient autonomy and a two-way exchange of information. Dr. Mofrad emphasizes that shared decision-making is now a prerequisite for reimbursement for certain procedures, including defibrillator implants, left atrial occlusion devices, pacemakers, and anticoagulation therapy. He explains that decision aids are tools used to facilitate shared decision-making, providing patients with informational materials about their treatment options. Dr. Mofrad also discusses the importance of measuring the efficacy of shared decision-making and highlights patient surveys, provider reports, and observer input as measurements. He discusses the role of multidisciplinary teams, the potential for reimbursement of shared decision-making time, and the need for further guidelines, implementation strategies, and research.
