11 Evidence–based Medicine: What it is and what it isn’t. Evidence-based medicine is not cookbook medicine It requires a bottom up approach that integrates the best external evidence with individual clinical expertise and patient choice. ( Sackett DL. BMJ Editorial )
12 The What Patient Preferences – medical decisions necessarily involve value judgements
13 Invite the Patient to Participate “There’s a decision to make about your treatment (or testing) and I’d like to make it with you. Knowing what’s important to you will help us make a better decision.” OR “Sometimes things in medicine aren’t as clear as most people think. Let’s work together so we can come up with the decision that’s right for you.”
