Editor's Notes
- reducing decisional conflict (the confusion and anxiety many patients experience during and following PrCA Tx decisions) decreasing the time between Dx and a Tx decision (whether for an active Tx or watchful waiting) improving adjustment to Tx outcomes (i.e., reducing the degree to which the patient is bothered by urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal function problems that may exist) increasing satisfaction with overall care and with the Tx decision process reducing health care resource utilization during the decision period improving quality of life.
- Trad 60-60; MDC “30-30-30” Our MSC = Urol, Rad Onc & PCNN, so ideal candidates are low-med risk / localized PC / have mult options MSC with a Med Onc – may include higher risk / one modality pts OR Med Onc as non-vested 3 rd party.
- Becoming a Linchpin -“the linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, someone who can invent, connect, create, and make things happen. Every worthwhile institution has indispensable people who make differences like these”
- There is no map “Indispensible linchpins are not waiting for instructions, but instead, figuring out what to do next. If you have a job where someone tells you what to do next, you’ve just given up the chance to create value”
