Shared Decision Making in the News
Jessie Gruman | June 29, 2011
Media coverage of the challenges we face in making good treatment decisions often focuses on and sensationalizes medical errors, catastrophes and risks.' So it was great to see this impressive TV news clip circulated by Gary Schwitzer of HealthNewsReview.org in his blog last week.' Reporter Jeff Baillon of Minnesota's FOX 9 news does a good job of making regional health care differences actually matter to the viewer and showing how the principles of shared decision making are critical to the decisions we make about screening and treatment.
