A new discipline merging evidence-based medicine (EBM) and psychology offers tools for clinical decision-making. Integrated decision making (IDM) is proposed as a better name, improving evidence and patient preference integration.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Decision Making
  • Health Psychology
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • The integration of evidence-based medicine (EBM) with psychology has spurred new terminology for clinical decision-making.
  • Existing terms may not fully capture the evolving practitioner-patient relationship and the integration of evidence with patient preferences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a glossary of terms related to the practitioner-patient relationship in decision-making.
  • To define tools that facilitate evidence-based decision-making.
  • To propose and advocate for the term 'integrated decision making' (IDM) as a more suitable name for this emerging discipline.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review to identify and define terms.
  • Conceptual analysis to propose a new disciplinary name.

  • Argumentation to support the proposed term 'integrated decision making' (IDM).

    • Main Results:

    • A glossary of terms for practitioner-patient interactions in decision-making was compiled.
    • Key tools for facilitating evidence-based decision-making were identified.
    • The term 'integrated decision making' (IDM) was proposed as a more fitting descriptor for the discipline.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed term 'integrated decision making' (IDM) better reflects the integration of scientific evidence with patient values and preferences.
    • IDM addresses concerns regarding barriers to integrating evidence and patient preferences in clinical practice.
    • This new terminology supports the changing dynamics of the practitioner-patient relationship in modern healthcare.
