NHS Decision Support Tools
Shared decision making is a fundamental component of personalised care and is an ethical, professional and medico-legal standard for health and care related decision making.Â
Decision support tools are one way of facilitating this process, and aim to encourage patients to be more involved in their care planning. Decision support tools can help patients and clinicians to work together to decide on the best course of action for their condition. They encourage conversations about evidence based management options and the potential risks and benefits. They ensure that patient values, preferences and circumstances are taken into account when planning next steps.
Currently we would recommend that these tools are used universally with people with the following conditions:
Knee osteoarthritis; Hip osteoarthritis; Carpal tunnel syndrome; Dupuytren’s contracture.
