Aims and Objectives
|
Shared Decision-Making (SDM) is a process where clinicians and patients work together to make decisions about patients' care based on reliable information. To become proficient in SDM, clinicians must prioritize patient preferences during the clinical encounter. They must also know all available treatment options and their associated risks and benefits. While treatments for painful conditions are often aimed at repairing tissue dysfunction, pelvic pain syndromes may not be resolved with pharmacological and surgical interventions. This workshop will provide you with insights directly from patients and highlight alternative treatment options and communication skills required to improve the patient's quality of life.
Learning Objectives - What meaningful patient experiences can look like
- Patient perspectives, alternative and conservative options for pelvic pain, and understanding of patient priorities
- Outcomes/KPIs/benchmarking and getting it right
