1. Patient-Centered Approach
...providing care that is respectful of and responsive to
individual patient preferences, needs, and values - ensuringthat patient values guide all clinical decisions.
Gauge patients preferred level of involvement.
Explore, where possible, therapeutic choices.
Utilize decision aids.
Shared decision making final decisions re: lifestyle choicesultimately lies with the patient.
