Abstract:
Shared decision-making (SDM) has emerged as a cornerstone of patient-centered care in the surgical setting. Surgeons can provide their opinion based on evidence and expertise, while patients provide their unique values and preferences-culminating in a unified plan. This is especially important at the end-of-life. This chapter will explore the unique role and benefit that SDM has in end-of-life situations and provide a context in which to navigate these difficult times.
