A cost-benefit analysis worksheet is used to evaluate the costs and benefits of upgrading a health information system. It involves identifying gaps between the current system and future needs, analyzing costs and benefits of upgrading or not upgrading the system, and determining how evolving business trends may impact upgrade decisions. The analysis is used to make recommendations about whether to implement an upgraded system based on whether the benefits outweigh the costs. Patient decision aids can help involve patients in healthcare decisions by informing them of treatment options and helping them understand risks and benefits. This improves patient-centered care and shared decision making.

Discussion: Patient Preferences and Decision Making
Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient
populations that are often well informed and educated, even
before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by
a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are
increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However,
this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments
can become complex.
What has your experience been with patient involvement in
treatment or healthcare decisions?
In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider
the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You
will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform
best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.
To Prepare:
· Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you

2. experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought
into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.
· Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Decision
Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.
· Choose “For Specific Conditions,” then Browse an
alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.
NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO
NOT use the patient’s real name or any information that might
identify the patient or organization/practice.
By Day 3 of Week 8
Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and
explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient
preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment
plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how
including patient preferences and values might impact the
trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the
treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision
aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective
decision making, both in general and in the experience you
described. Describe how you might use this decision aid
inventory in your professional practice or personal life.
Please let you citations match your rereferences . Thank you.
