Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Continuing medical education (CME) articles often lack essential evidence-based information on treatment benefits and harms, hindering shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients. Improving CME content is crucial for informed patient choices.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Research
  • Health Communication
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Continuing medical education (CME) articles are vital for translating medical knowledge into clinical practice.
  • This study evaluated CME articles for essential information supporting shared decision-making (SDM).
  • SDM requires evidence-based data on treatment benefits and harms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the extent to which CME articles provide evidence-based information on treatment benefits and harms.
  • To determine if CME articles contain elements crucial for facilitating shared decision-making (SDM).

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of 30 CME articles from 5 free medical journals for Quebec primary care physicians.
  • Articles were scored using a 10-item checklist based on International Patient Decision Aid Standards.
  • Scores ranged from 0 (no items) to 10 (all items present).

Main Results:

  • Selected CME articles scored low, with a mean of 3.1 out of 10.
  • Treatment benefits were frequently discussed, but information on harms was rarely included.
  • Methods for communicating benefits and harms to patients were almost never described.

Conclusions:

  • Current CME articles lack the necessary evidence-based information to support SDM.
  • Medical journals should mandate the inclusion of comprehensive benefit and harm data in CME articles.
  • Enhancing CME content is essential for promoting informed patient-clinician decision-making.
