Abstract
Shared decision making (SDM), or the process by which clients actively work with health care professionals to make informed decisions about health care options, is critical to value-based, client-centered care and representing client preferences as part of the occupational therapy process. With the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the continued focus on patient-centered care models and quality indicators, occupational therapy practitioners must be prepared to engage in SDM. In this Health Policy Perspectives article, we provide considerations about how occupational therapy practitioners may use Choosing Wisely® recommendations to engage clients in SDM and provide high-quality evidence-based care.
