Shared decision making Anne Stiggelbout Dept. of Medical Decision Making Quality of Care Institute Leiden University Medical Center Overview • A little history • What is it then? • The steps in SDM and some evidence • So does it happen? • Is it hope or hype? • Implementation initiatives • Challenges for the future Stiggelbout EACH 2014 A little history of shared decision-making Two lines of thinking have led to the interest: 1. New Medical Ethics: doctor-patient roles (60s) 2. Jack Wennberg c.s.: practice variation (80s) Stiggelb out EACH 1. New Medical Ethics late 60s/early 70s: • medicine is not just about saving lives (Hippocratic oath) but also about quality of life -> patient autonomy (end of life decisions) • “Models for Ethical Medicine in a Revolutionary Age: What physician-patient roles foster the most ethical relationship?” (Veatch 1972) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 1. Ethics: A plethora of doctor-patient models Veatch ‘72: priestly collegial contractual Stiggelbout EACH 2014 engineering Veatch 1972 Hasting Ctr Report • “In the contractual model, then, there is a real sharing of decision-making” (p7) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Models of doctor-patient relationship Stiggelbout EACH 2014 1. Ethics: A plethora of doctor-patient models Veatch ‘72: priestly collegial engineering contractual E&E ’92: Stiggelbout EACH 2014 paternalistic deliberative interpretative informative Doctor’s Role (E&E 1992) Paternalistic Deliberative Interpretative Informative Guardian Friend/ Counselor/ Teacher Adviser Competent technical expert Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Patient values (E&E 1992) Paternalistic Deliberative Interpretative Informative Objective Open to development/ undefined & conflicting Defined, Shared by doctor and patient Stiggelbout EACH 2014 revision Known to Need elucidation patient SDM models: Charles, Gafni, Whelan SHARED DECISION-MAKING IN THE MEDICAL ENCOUNTER: WHAT DOES IT MEAN? (OR IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO TO TANGO) Social Science and Medicine 1997 DECISION-MAKING IN THE PHYSICIAN-PATIENT ENCOUNTER: REVISITING THE SHARED TREATMENT DECISION-MAKING MODEL Social Science and Medicine 1999 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 1.

New Medical Ethics: doctor-patient roles (60s) 2. Jack Wennberg c.s.: practice variation (80s) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 2. Jack Wennberg: “practice variation” • The Dartmouth Atlas • If practice variation, then not one best decision: “preference sensitive” decisions Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Two types of decisions • "effective " • General consensus about best treatment (scientific certainty, more pros than cons) • Aspirin after cardiac infarction • "preference-sensitive” • Decision depends on subjective tradeoffs • Or insufficient evidence for one decision • Mastectomy vs breast conserving surgery Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Research on variation in preferences Consistently wide variation in preferences found (among doctors, among patients, and between) Clinicians poor at predicting patient preferences: • Preferences for information • Treatment preferences • Preferences for role in decision making Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Example: variation in required benefits Kunneman et al BJC 2014 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Variation in preferences for trx outcomes Pieterse et al. 2008 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Prediction of treatment prefs by clinician Patient preference RT dose Prediction of radiotherapist Low High Total Low 42 10 52 High 30 19 49 Total 72 29 101 Stalmeier et al. JCO 2007 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 From pref variation to shared dm • Clinicians, and patients, vary in preferences • So more preference-sensitive decisions than one may think... •& Clinicians poor at predicting patient preference: Need for shared decision-making! Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM and effective vs preference sensitive • Effective DM aimed more at patient agreement with advice • Preference-sensitive DM aimed at eliciting preferences of patient • Shared DM meant for both, but most imperative for Preference Sensitive decisions • For effective a more deliberative model • ISSUE FOR DISCUSSION… Stiggelbout EACH 2014 From practice variation to SDM Political plea for SDM: • Clinicians prone to over-treatment • Patients more conservative than clinicians: SDM will “save health care” through cost reduction Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Recap: history of SDM 1. New Medical Ethics: doctor-patient roles (60s) 2. Jack Wennberg c.s.: practice variation (80s) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Shared Decision Making Both patient and clinician: 1. Are involved in decision making 2. Exchange information 3. State their preferences regarding diagnostics/treatment(s) 4. Agree with the final decision Charles, Whelan, Gafni 1997/1999 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM in practice • Ever seen/experienced or done SDM? SDM in practice • Ever seen/experienced or done SDM? • A quick overview of SDM Integrative model (Makoul&Clayman ‘06) • Define/explain problem • Present options & Discuss pros/cons • Discuss patient values/preferences • Discuss patient ability/self-efficacy • Doctor recommendations • Check/clarify understanding • Make or explicitly defer decision • Arrange follow-up Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM: a practice model Elwyn et al. J Gen Intern Med. 2012 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM Steps one by one Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM Steps: choice talk 1. Clinician informs patient that decision is to be made and patient’s opinion is important: • OPTION AWARENESS! & • DOING NOTHING is a CHOICE Stiggelbout EACH 2014 “Step 1: choice talk” occurrence? Review Couët on OPTION scale (2013) : 1. Only 5/16 studies explained equipoise 2. Performed to a baseline standard in 2/16 Note: in Couët “observed” usually meant: perfunctory or unclear attempt Stiggelbout EACH 2014 “Step 1: choice talk” occurrence? • Rectal cancer, radiation oncologist (N=51) • Breast cancer, medical oncologist (N=49) Reasons for Encounter? Yes: 72 % explain options: 63 % make a decision: 4 % And 0% provided more than 1 option! Kunneman, Engelhardt (in prep) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Step 1: “framing” the decision Standard treatment: Breast conserving surgery+RT If tumour too large: Neoadjuvant & breast conserving Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Amputation Options? Stiggelbout EACH 2014 A breast cancer patient (in Kil&Koole ‘13) “From one moment to the other, I had lost all control over my body. As if the doctors, who were all very friendly and meant the best for me, had taken over.” She regrets her breast conserving treatment. Her surgeon had said: “Only hysterical women who are really scared choose breast amputation.” Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Step 1: “framing” the decision “framing” van de beslissing bij in GBSDM Breast conserving surgery +RT Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Neoadjuvant & breast conserving surgery Amputation Options!!! Thanks to Glyn Elwyn, Boston 2009 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM Steps: option talk 1. Clinician informs patient that decision is to be made and patient’s opinion is important 2. Clinician explains the options and the pros and cons of each (relevant) option Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Step 2: options and pros and cons • Patients often don’t know the options (don’t experience a treatment choice) • Patients wish to know more than docs think • Patients often don’t realise risks involved • Patients often feel uninformed e.g. Kiesler&Auerback (2006), Berman et al (2008) Lagarde et al. 2008, Janssen et al. 2009 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 The informed patient… Sorry, but what’s this one for again? Stiggelbout EACH 2014 I have no idea, it’s the patient’s. Step 3: patient preferences 1. Clinician informs patient that decision is to be made and patient’s opinion is important 2. Clinician explains the options and the pros and cons of each (relevant) option 3. Clinician & patient discuss patient preferences Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Preferences: architecture, not archeology Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Step 3: patient preferences Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (Knops et al 2010) N=35 patients, N=11 surgeons Treatment preference elicited : 23 % Couët (2013, review): idem in 1 out of 17 studies Rectal cancer (see Pieterse, this afternoon) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Stiggelb ut ECH Option talk: deliberation 1. Clinician informs patient that decision is to be made and patient’s opinion is important 2. Clinician explains the options and the pros and cons of each (relevant) option 3. Clinician & patient discuss patient preferences 4. Clinician supports patient in deliberation Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Step 4: support in deliberation Resultaten: Ervaren betrokkenheid in besluitvorming To what extent time/space to express view on pros/cons? 25,0 Percentage 20,0 15,0 10,0 5,0 0,0 1 helemaal niet 2 Kunneman et al. 2014 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 3 4 5 6 7 heel erg veel Decision talk: decision & next steps 1.

Clinician & patient discuss patient preferences 4. Clinician supports patient in deliberation 5. Clinician & patient discuss the decision and possible next steps/follow-up Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Step 5: decision & next steps Couët (2013, review): The 3rd most consistently observed behavior: - 69% indicated need to review/defer - only in 20% at baseline standard Stiggelbout EACH 2014 So does SDM happen…? • It seems not… despite clinicians saying they perform SDM • Studies on overall involvement using OPTION scale (0-100): • Couët (review) • < 1:4 was ≥ 25 (cutoff) • LUMC: Kunneman (in prep.) Snijders (2014) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Mean= 23 ± 14 Mean=10 Med=7 So what does happen? Paternalistic Deliberative Promote P’s Inform P, wellbeing, independent of P Persuade P of preferences most admirable values Interpretative Informative Inform P, Provide factual info, Elucidate P values, (Emanuel & Emanuel 1992) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 So what does happen? • Implicit normativity (Molewijk et al. 2003): • Doctor steers patient towards treatment she thinks is ‘good’ for the patient • But seen for preference sensitive decisions Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Strategies used to steer patients • Trying to avoid offering other treatment alternatives • ‘‘We are in favor of’’: presenting treatment as an authorized ‘‘we’’ decision • The illusory power to decide • Dramatizing the evil Karnieli-Miller Physician as partner or salesman? (2009) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Strategies used to steer patients • Deterring vs. encouraging: using others as examples • Emphasizing the benefits of treatment and frightening patients about non-compliance • Emphasizing the ability to control the side effects of the treatment • “From mild to serious medicine:’’ a gradual decision Karnieli-Miller Physician as partner or salesman? (2009) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Use of implicit normativity in oncology Presenting treatment as an authorized ‘‘we’’ decision 92 (83%) The illusory power to decide 55 (50%) Emphasizing the ability to control the side effects of the treatment 55 (50%) Downplaying the treatment's impact 47 (42%) Presenting side effects after treatment decision 73 (66%) Engelhardt et al. 2014 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Associations with patient characteristics N (%) Median P Tumor size NS Axillary lymph nodes NS Tumor grade NS Decision Stiggelbout EACH 2014 No Partially Yes 12 (11) 10 ( 9) 87 (80) 3 (1-9) 4 (1-9) 6 (2-9) 0.04 The medical oncologist sharing dm? “Had you been younger, we would have advised chemotherapy anyhow, but now I have doubts. So what we will do, luckily you will undergo radiation therapy first… I want you to be evaluated by a geriatrician, and by my colleague in hospital Y. But anyhow, the advice will be hormonal treatment. Possibly, but with big hesitations, we can think about adding another treatment”. Stiggelbout EACH 2014 About hormonal treatment “Those hormones are really good, but not appropriate now. Which is unfortunate, for it is quite easy, hormones. You take a tablet and you notice very little” “When you take aspirin, you may be hypersensitive . This may happen with hormones too”. “And that’s with all medicines. Paracetamol has many side effects too, but not with most people’. Stiggelbout EACH 2014 An offer you cannot refuse! “This is a reason for us to offer you chemotherapy after surgery” “Me personally, we as oncologists, think this worthwhile” Stiggelbout EACH 2014 So what does happen? • Implicit normativity: “physician as sales(wo)man” • Not just for effective decisions! • Molewijk et al. 2003 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM: Hope or Hype? • Exponential increase in papers in high impact journals from 1996-2011 • with linear increase of research papers on SDM => increased dissemination to medical community? (Blanc 2014) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Research papers on SDM? • Few studies actually measure what occurs in the consultation • Many studies use patient-perceived roles (using e.g. Control Preferences Scale) • Studies that use observations of consultations have mostly evaluated doctor-behavior (OPTION, DAS-O, ACEPP coding instruments) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Research on SDM? • Little evidence on occurrence • Therefore little known about impact • Most assertions about impact are based on RCTs of patient decision aids Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Presumed effects of SDM • More satisfied patients • Less unwarranted practice variation • Lower costs? • More equality (not just highly educated have a say) • Less litigation • Better adherence, better quality of life Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM: Hope or Hype? • But even in the absence of these… There is a strong ethical imperative for SDM • Many questions still… • But many implementation activities aimed at barriers to SDM Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Barriers to implementation of SDM • how healthcare is organized: • Time, continuity of care, workflow, setting • What happens during consultation: • Interaction: power imbalance, clinician style • Preparation for SDM Légaré 2010, Elwyn et al. 2013, Joseph-Williams et al. 2013 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Examples: Supporting patient DM • Helping patients prepare for the encounter: • “Ask 3 questions” (Shepherd et al. 2011, MAGIC) • Question prompt lists • Patient decision aids • Etc. • Change patient attitudes • Patient knowledge not inferior to medical knowledge • No need for fear of being a difficult patient Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Interventions aimed at increasing SDM Légaré et al. Cochrane Sept 15th: • interventions targeting patients, healthcare professionals, or both • 39 studies (38 RCTs) • E.g. training, audit and feedback, educational materials/meetings/outreach visits, decision aids, a.o. Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Interventions aimed at increasing SDM Findings: • At most slight significant effects Largest effects seen if both groups targeted • No effects on duration of consultation, patient’s health, cost of the intervention (and no harm) • Few studies, large heterogeneity, and low to very low overall quality of evidence (GRADE) Légaré Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2014 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Interventions aimed at increasing SDM “It is uncertain whether interventions to improve adoption of SDM are effective given the low quality of the evidence. However, any intervention that actively targets patients, healthcare professionals, or both, is better than none.” Légaré Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2014 Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM: Hope or Hype? • Concerted implementation action needed! • Patient societies • Professional societies • Government bodies • Charities • Health Insurance companies • And proper evaluation needed Stiggelbout EACH 2014 SDM: Hope or Hype? Challenges ahead: • research and training & education • important role for EACH Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Research challenges • Develop instruments to assess SDM • Assess communication best practices to support SDM • Evaluate tools other than decision aids • Assess impact of SDM on outcomes • SDM in vulnerable groups (age, language, culture) • Etc etc Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Challenges: education and training • Core competencies for SDM training programs • RELATIONAL COMPETENCIES • RISK COMMUNICATION COMPETENCIES (Légaré et al. 2013) • Training: students • Training of residents • Training: doctors • Train the trainers! Stiggelbout EACH 2014 Challenges: education and training • Through communication curricula? • Or use Evidence-Based Medicine as a Trojan Horse? • Evidence-Based Medicine = • Evidence & Clinical Expertise & Patient’s needs/preferences Stiggelbout EACH 2014 EBM and SDM • Create awareness of preference sensitivity! • SDM imperative for preference sensitive decisions • But who defines what is preference-sensitive…? • “Practitioners, together with their patients, are free to make appropriate care decisions that may not match what “best (average) evidence” seems to suggest” (Godlee, BMJ, june 2013) Stiggelbout EACH 2014 In conclusion • Shared Decision Making is a buzz word • Occurrence not common yet • But a strong movement towards implementation • Many challenges to be met: • Research, Training, Implementation • Concerted action needed!
