Preferred term

patient decision aids  

Definition

  • The goal of evidence-based healthcare is to integrate clinical expertise with patients' values using the best available evidence. However, many decisions fall in the “gray zone,” because the benefit-harm ratios either are unknown or depend on how patients value them.
