Dear colleagues,

The ISDM executive committee cordially invites people working in the area of Shared Decision Making for Abstract submission and Registration for the 6th International Shared Decision Making conference.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 14 January, 2011.

Please visit our website for more information about the abstract submission process and guidelines.

Theme

The conference theme 2011 is:

Bridging the gap between research and practice: patient pull or clinician push? Will we join the patient revolution? Should we rely on the patients’ pull to translate and implement SDM research into practice? Or should we push clinicians?

The ISDM executive committee encourages submissions dealing with the following topics:

  • Patient pull: patient-mediated implementation of SDM
  • Clinician push: training and facilitating clinicians to perform SDM
  • Implementation of SDM in different levels of the healthcare system
  • The patients’ perspective of SDM and Decision Support Interventions
  • Clinicians’ perspective of SDM and Decision Support Interventions
  • Development and evaluation of Decision Support Interventions
  • Measurement of the concept of SDM
  • SDM in different cultural settings
  • SDM and decision support interventions for special populations (e.g. children, underserved, or end-of-life decisions)
  • SDM and clinical practice guidelines
  • Ethical aspects of SDM

Abstracts for oral presentations, poster presentations, workshops, symposia, and contributions to the exhibition are welcome.
