Insight and control for patients

A digital solution that helps patients make well-informed treatment choices together with their physician.

Shared decision-making with Decision Aid - appropriate care for every patient

Decision aids support patients and healthcare professionals in making joint treatment decisions, particularly when it comes to complex decisions or those with significant impact. This results in appropriate care: care that meets both medical needs and what is important to the patient.

Patients receive an information leaflet from the hospital and are given access to the online decision aid. There they will find reliable and understandable information about their diagnosis and the various treatment options. The information is tailored to their personal situation. By answering questions about what is important to them, patients clearly identify their preferences and values. The results form the basis for a good conversation with the healthcare professional: deciding together on the treatment that suits them best.

This also has many benefits for healthcare professionals: consultations are more efficient and in-depth because patients are better prepared and have realistic expectations. Healthcare professionals experience more peace of mind and satisfaction in the discussion because the decision aid provides structure and helps to quickly get to the heart of the matter: what is medically sensible and what is right for this patient?

Why choose Decision Aid?

Our decision aids have been developed in close collaboration with patients, healthcare professionals, scientific associations and patient associations. They fit seamlessly into existing care pathways and support the shared decision-making process at every step: informing, weighing up the options and preparing for the consultation.

The outcome:

Valuable care for the patient: The treatment is better aligned with what is important to the patient.
Added value for healthcare professionals: Discussions become more efficient, better structured and more focused on what matters. This saves time, prevents repeat consultations and increases job satisfaction.
Collaboration in the chain: The decision aid supports an open, structured discussion between patient and healthcare professional.
The right care in the right place: Patients prepare well at home and come to the consultation at the hospital better informed.
Effective use of healthcare resources: Joint decision-making prevents overtreatment and leads to care that is truly necessary.
