Systems and methods using shared patient-centric decision support tools to assist patients and clinicians

摘要

A multi-stage shared decision-making system (10) provides patient preferences (66) and patient rationale (68) related to the decision-making regarding the first stage (64) of the treatment pathway (62). A patient decision data storage device (60). This system (10) supports educating the patient on stored patient preferences (66), rationale (68), and treatment route (62) to make decisions regarding the next stage of the treatment route A tool support system (62) is further included. The comprehension score is calculated based on testing the patient against the patient's literacy level (72) with respect to the patient's preferences (66), rationale (68), and treatment route (62). Update the teaching materials, retraining, and reexamination for the patient with a score below the threshold score (74). When the score reaches the threshold (74), the patient can proceed to the next stage of decision making for the treatment route (62).
