AHRQ seeks physician input on shared decision-making tools

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is seeking physician input on the development of new clinical tools and workshops to support shared health care decision making.

ACP supports AHRQ's effort to raise awareness and encourage use of evidence-based tools from the Effective Health Care (EHC) Program. These tools help clinicians and consumers learn about the effectiveness, benefits and risks of treatment options for many common conditions.

AHRQ has designed a survey to better understand the needs and preferences of physicians for new tools to use with patients. ACP members who complete the survey before July 15, 2013, can order free bulk copies of EHC clinician and consumer brochures. Participants will receive an access code to place their orders after completing the survey.
