About the Shared Decision-Making Collaborative
The Minnesota Shared Decision-Making Collaborative is a multi-stakeholder community learning collaborative working to remove barriers to adoption and promote the routine use of shared decision-making in clinical practice throughout Minnesota. We serve as a resource to those who are interested in this work and hope to enhance effective shared medical decision-making between patients and their health care team by studying and implementing methods to assure that medical decisions are well-informed by best available evidence and consistent with patient preferences.Read Our Charter
