Abstract
Clinical decision making preference is defined as “an individual’s expectation of having the power to participate in decisions in order to obtain desirable consequences.” Understanding patients decisional control preferences is important as it improves patient-clinician communication, quality cancer care, patient satisfaction, and reduces cost of care. Palliative care decision-making differs from that of many other disease-oriented specialties. Palliative care clinical teams focus on personhood and family care rather than on disease management. Therefore, palliative care clinicians require a combination of disease, patient, and family information before decisions can be made. This chapter reviews various aspects essential for clinical decision-making in palliative care.
