AHRQ SHARE Approach to Shared Decision Making: New Resources Now Available

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) offers new resources to help clinicians understand and use findings from patient-centered outcomes research in shared decision making.  Free tools and workshops are part of the SHARE Approach, a five-step process for shared decision making.  Resources include patient decision aids, conversation starters, tips to communicate with patients, an implementation guide for clinical teams, and a brief summarizing the benefits of shared decision making.
Train-the-trainer workshops are being offered in locations across the country. Clinicians who participate will learn how to implement the SHARE Approach and train peers in shared decision making. Participants can earn up to six hours of continuing medical education credits (CME)/continuing education units (CEUs). For workshop participants, a learning network and webinar series will also be available to support ongoing implementation.
To learn more and register for a train-the-trainer workshop near you, please visit the AHRQ Web site at http://www.ahrq.gov/shareddecisionmaking.
