AHRQ’s SHARE Approach is a clinician-led shared decision-making model with five essential elements for meaningful dialogue with patients exploring benefits, harms, and risks of options and what matters most to them. ´óÏóÊÓƵoffers a free workshop curriculum to train clinicians in skills and techniques to work with patients to make the best possible healthcare decisions. 

Revised SHARE Approach Workshop

´óÏóÊÓƵrecently partnered with the University of Colorado to update, revise, implement, and evaluate the SHARE Approach in primary care and cardiology practices. Nine out of ten clinicians agreed the SHARE Approach is useful for daily practice and would help them engage in shared decision making. Details about the project are in the final report and appendix. 

The new streamlined SHARE Approach training curriculum has a flexible design for busy clinician teams. The Facilitator’s Guide (PDF, 393 KB) outlines a flexible approach to implement team training with asynchronous learning and group activities.
