Watch this animated short to see how the skills you use to make big life decisions — buying a car, choosing a school, or deciding where to live — can help you make a shared medical decision.
Watch this short video to hear from clinicians as they reflect on their first year of implementing shared decision making as part of the Foundation's demonstration site project
Listen to the stories of four patients who took action to become active participants in their medical decisions: Howard, who decided not to have bypass surgery for coronary heart disease; Loretta, who made a decision about how her diabetes would be managed; Phil, who decided not to have repeat surgery for a back condition; and Kathy, who chose mastectomy over lumpectomy for early stage breast cancer.

The health care system is not only difficult to navigate, but often patients receive care they do not need or want. This 20-minute video provides helpful ideas about how to work with your health care providers to know when decisions are being made and how to be actively informed and involved in your care.
Listen and watch a real patient\'s story about a decision whether or not to have back surgery. By getting additional information about treatment options for back pain and then engaging with his physician in a shared decision-making process, Peter was able to choose the treatment that best fit his personal needs and preferences.
