In my experience, transparency is not something discussed with regard to clinical decision making. This is a link posted by the Patient and Client Council, to promote a project from the Clinical Education Center in Northern Ireland. They are asking for patients to participate in a Zoom conference to discuss Shared Decision Making between patients and clinicians.
“Shared decision making is a process in which individuals and clinicians work together to understand and decide what tests, treatments, or support packages are most suitable bearing in mind a person’s own circumstances. It brings together the individual’s expertise about themselves and what is important to them together with the clinician’s knowledge about the benefits and risks of the options”.

How awesome is this? Do you think this is something that would be viable in the US?
Thanks for reading. Peace.
