SDM tool design
This paper describes the process used to design Anticoagulation Choice as an encounter-based SDM tool:
Current version of the tool: http://anticoagulationdecisionaid.mayoclinic.org
Video demonstration of tools use
SDM4AFIB – a practice-based randomized trial of Anticoagulation Choice vs. usual care
- Trial protocol
- Trial registration
- Normalization in practice of Anticoagulation Choice in preparation for the clinical trial
- Trial results – decisional outcomes
- Trial results – clinical outcomes (including adherence)
- Trial results – cost conversations
- Trial results – sense making in shared decision making
This work was funded by grant RO1 HL131535-01 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
DISCLAIMER: No SDM tool replaces the conversation patients should have with their clinicians to make important, clinical decisions. Use of these SDM tools carries no liability to its developers or to the Mayo Clinic Foundation for Education and Research.
