Summary

Shared decision-making (SDM) lacks empirical data to prove its impact on reducing medical malpractice litigation. While some studies suggest ignoring patient preferences increases litigation risk, more research is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Law and Ethics
  • Health Services Research
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Shared decision-making (SDM) is increasingly promoted in clinical practice.
  • The potential impact of SDM on medical malpractice litigation remains unclear.
  • Patient litigation intentions are a growing concern in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the influence and impact of SDM on medical malpractice litigation.
  • To assess SDM's effect on patients' intentions to initiate litigation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of observational, interventional, and qualitative studies.
  • Searched multiple databases (CINAHL, Cochrane, EMBASE, MEDLINE, etc.) from inception to January 2014.
  • Assessed study quality using established checklists and guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Five studies were included after screening 6562 records.
  • No empirical data definitively links SDM to reduced litigation.
  • Ignoring patient preferences may increase litigation risk; documenting decision support may offer protection.
  • Some clinicians order more tests to mitigate litigation risk.

Conclusions:

  • Insufficient evidence exists to confirm SDM reduces medical malpractice litigation.
  • Further empirical investigation is necessary to establish the medico-legal benefits of SDM.
  • Decision support interventions may offer some medico-legal protection, but require more study.
