A surprisingly low percentage of Medicare enrollees who undergo low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer participate in a shared decision-making (SDM) session prior to the screening, in spite of a reimbursement requirement to do so, according to a new analysis. Among those who do have an SDM session, a high percentage opt to avoid the screening.

This approximately 1-hour course will explore shared decision-making, a model of patient-centered care. Topics include defining and describing the shared decision-making approach, when and how to make use of shared decision-making, and what steps should be taken when implementing this model in your organizational setting.
