A Universal Decision Support System: Addressing the Decision Making Needs of Patients, Families, and Clinicians in the Setting of Critical Illness.
Abstract In the setting of a complex critical illness, preference-sensitive decision making-choosing between two or more reasonable treatment options-can be difficult for patients, families, and clinicians alike. A common challenge to making high-quality decisions in this setting is a lack of critical information access and sharing among participants. Decision aids-brochures, web applications, and videos-are a major focus of current research because mounting evidence suggests they can improve decision making quality and enhance collaborative shared decision making. However, many decision aids have important limita...
