Implementation

  • Patients Who Could Benefit from Patient Priorities Care
    While appropriate for everyone, Patient Priorities Care is particularly suited for older adults managing multiple conditions, navigating multiple clinicians and for whom disease guideline based care is of uncertain benefit and is potentially burdensome. Read more about who receives the most benefit from Patient Priorities Care.
  • Inviting Patient to Participate in Patient Priorities Care
    This script can be used by members of the healthcare team to explain why Patient Priorities Care is helpful to patients, caregivers and clinical staff.
  • MyHealthPriorities.org
    Encourage your patients to visit this self-directed website which guides patients (and their caregivers if they desire) through the health priorities identification process. At the end, they will have a template/summary that outlines their Health Priorities (the life and health goals/activities they want their health care to help them with given what they are willing and able to do) and the One Thing that they most want to focus on.
  • Strategies For Patient Priorities Aligned Decision-Making
    These strategies and troubleshooting tips were developed through actual clinical practice scenarios to help clinicians translate patients’ health priorities into treatment options and support patient priorities-aligned decision-making and care.
  • New Patient Priorities Care Decisional Guidance
    The Patient Priorities Care Decisional Guidance tool provides steps and strategies for addressing common clinical scenarios and challenges in aligning care with patients’ health priorities (their health outcome goals they most want from their healthcare and their health care preferences – what they are, or are not, willing and able to do to achieve these outcome goals). The tool can be used to learn how to align clinical decisions with patient’ priorities and as a point-of-care reference tool.
