In this episode, we talk with Dr. Glyn Elwyn and Danielle Schubbe about the ethical imperative of including patients in the decision-making process. They discuss how patient goals inform treatment decisions and the challenge of making choices for a “future self” with the lived experiences and preferences of today. Glyn and Danielle talk about this process for early stage breast cancer and some of the tools they've created to help both clinicians and patients navigate shared decision-making, including the three-talk model. Key Highlights: The art of combining clinical guidelines and patient preference to make the best treatment decision. The role of patient goals in making decisions and realizing that decisions are being made for a “future self” using “current self” experiences. Exploring the three-talk model of decision making: team talk, option talk and decision talk. About our guests: Glyn Elwyn BA MD MSc PhD FRCGP is a clinician, researcher, and innovator. He is a tenured professor at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, USA, and at the Scientific Institute for Quality of Healthcare, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, Netherlands. He has Visiting Professor positions at University College London, UK, and at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. After reading the humanities he qualified in medicine, completed a Masters in Education, and obtained his doctorate at Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands, with Professor Richard Grol. Glyn Elwyn studies coproduction, shared decision making, and the application of machine learning to digital recordings of clinical encounters. Danielle Schubbe joined the Coproduction Laboratory in September 2017. She is an external PhD student of Health Services Research at Radboudumc in Nijmegen, Netherlands. She has worked on multiple PCORI-funded studies about shared decision making and the implementation of shared decision making in diverse clinical contexts. Key Moments: 19 minutes: On integrating patient preference with clinical guidelines. “I think most discerning clinicians understand how to work within guidelines, and I think most expert clinicians would say I bring in patient preference as well as know what the rules are saying or what the guidelines are saying.” 31 minutes: On the challenge of making a decision for your future self. “Your decision today about that future is gonna be misinformed because you've never experienced that future yourself.... We cannot predict you in three years' time. How will you feel? We can only ask you to do your best to predict how you feel in the future… and you will be wrong.” 49 minutes: Using the three-talk method of decision making. “Then there's the option talk. That's when you present if there is more than one option for the patient to consider for their treatment. That's when you go over all the nitty gritty of the pros and cons of the two surgical treatment options, in our case for early stage breast cancer, in a way that is hopefully not really overwhelming for the patient.” This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features these PCORI studies by Dr. Glyn Elwyn & Danielle Schubbe - Study 1 and Study 2.

S1E43: On this episode, Variation and Waste in Healthcare with Elliott Fisher, MD from the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and host Dr. Nick. Have you seen headlines that your Zip code is more important than your genetic code in determining your health and life expectancy? This is a window into the care being delivered and the fundamental inequities and health disparities that are pervasive and amplified by the pandemic. A New Yorker article “The Cost Conundrum” focused on McAllen, Texas which is one of the most expensive districts for healthcare expenditure in the US. Did this work demonstrate this additional spending results in better outcomes for the patients receiving healthcare? Based on the standard metrics of quality of care it does not. Your better pill to swallow is to acknowledge that each intervention and treatment comes with its own set of risks and rewards.

She introduced a new framework, based on the work of economist Dr Amartya Sen and philosopher Dr Martha Nussbaum, that could encourage long-lasting positive social change.

In December 2017, the NEJM's national corespondent, Lisa Rosenbaum, published an article “The Less-Is-More Crusade — Are We Overmedicalizing or Oversimplifying?” The article aimed a broadside against those who are campaigning against the overuse of medicine, and the over diagnosis of treatment. This week in the BMJ we've published a rebuttal to that article, and in this podcast we talk to Steve Woloshin and Lisa Schwartz - both professors at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Steve and Lisa's article carefully deconstructs some of the ideas advanced by Rosenbaum, but in this podcast we discuss how much separate camps are forming in this debate - and how to have a constructive dialogue across that divide.

The Three Talk Model of shared decision is a framework to help clinicians to think about how to structure their consultation to ensure that shared decision making can most usefully take place. The model is based around 3 concepts - option talk, decision talk, and team talk - with active listening at the centre. Three Talk was first proposed in 2012, now new research published on bmj.com updates that model. Professor Glynn Elwyn, from The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, joins us to explain how that was done, and what it's creators learned from the process.

This week, a new series starts in The BMJ - the aim is to rethink how hospitals, clinics, community services and public health work - with the aim of stopping the perverse blocks and incentives that prevent doctors, and other healthcare professionals, from providing the care that patients want and need. Talking to Navjoyt Ladher, are Albert Mulley - professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute, and Jane Druce, an evaluations manger, and Donal Collins, a GP - both of whom work in an NHS Vanguard area, where new ways of delivering care are being tested.

Listen NowSince the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 CMS has been working to reform Medicare reimbursements from "fee for service" to "fee for value." (Earlier this year Secretary Burwell noted 30% of traditional or "fee for service" Medicare reimbursements are now tied to quality or value.) The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) passed in 2015 accelerates this transition by incenting Medicare providers to participate in "fee of value" or pay for performance agreements, termed Alternative Payment Models (APMs) under MACRA, with a 5% annual bonus. To date, commercial Medicare Advantage (MA) plans (Medicare Part D) have been immune from these reforms. However, under MACRA beginning in performance year 2019 MA plan providers can potentially count their MA reimbursements and MA beneficiaries toward qualifying for the 5% MACRA APM bonus - if they meet the financial risk and other qualifying MACRA APM criteria. To what extent MA plans, that now account for nearly one-third of all Medicare beneficiaries, will work with their provider partners to meet the MACRA APM qualifying criteria is unknown. During this 23 minute conversation Ms. Turco discusses expectations for MA plan participation under MACRA as qualifying APMs, how MA stakeholders are thinking about moving the program outside of MACRA toward improved value or reduced spending growth, CMS's MA Value Based Insurance Design (VBID) demonstration scheduled to begin in January and anticipated MA reforms under a new White House administration next year. Ms. Molly Turco is presently Director of Policy and Research at the Better Medicare. Previously, Ms. Turco was a Senior Healthcare Policy Analyst with the Marwood Group. Ms. Turco also worked as a Healthcare Policy Researcher in the State of Vermont Office of Health Reform, within the University of Pennsylvania Health System and at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. Ms. Turco holds a MPH from the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and a BA from Middlebury College. This is a public episode.

Guidelines usually assume a rational comprehensive decision model in which all values, means, and ends are known and considered. In clinical encounters, however, patients and doctors most often follow “the science of muddling through. Given that clinical knowledge does not follow the narrow rationality of “if-then” algorithms contained in guidelines, alternatives are desperately needed. Glyn Elwyn, professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, joins us to discuss what we know about how doctors and patients use evidence, and what the alternative to guidelines could look like.
