to have an accurate sense of their baseline
risk and risk reduction with statins.

13. The body of evidence
Systematic review of 115 RCTs
Compared to usual care, decision aids:
Increase patient involvement by 34% (+++-)
Increase patient knowledge of options by 13% (++++)
Increase consultation time by ~2.6 minutes
Reduce decisional conflict by ~7%
Reduce % undecided by 40%
No consistent effect on choice, adherence,
health outcomes or costs
Stacey D et al. Cochrane review 2014

14. Summary of Mayo experience
Age: 40-92 (avg 65)
Primary care, ED, hospital, specialty care
74-90% clinicians want to use tools again
Adds ~3 minutes to consultation
60% fidelity without training
20% improvement in patient knowledge
17% improvement in patient involvement
Variable clinical outcomes

16. Conclusions
• It is feasible to promote evidence-based
conversations during the clinical encounters
with patients with chronic conditions.
• Decision aids designed for this purpose are
efficient and effective in promoting shared
decision making.
• Tools tested in randomized trials and proven
effective are available for free.
• Partners to get to routine use in practice.
