Good decisions involve the patient
You can only make the best decisions for your patients if you make those decisions with them.
Shared decision-making is a best-practice approach to involving patients in their own care. Fora Health is making it easy to bring these practices and make them a part of routine patient care.
How it works
All shared healthcare decisions involve 4 main steps. Here’s how Fora Health helps your patients get the most of each decision with you.
-
Prepare
- We make sure that your patients understand their options and are ready to discuss them with their care teams.
-
Decide
- Fora Health provides the patient and care teams with the tools they need to make and document a shared decision.
-
Adjust
- After a decision, we make sure the patient understands and can adjust to the decision.
-
Evaluate
- We provide the tools to evaluate whether the decision is having the desired effect.
Treatment options
When deciding on a new treatment, Fora Health helps the patient understand their options, think about their preferences.
After deciding, Fora Health helps the patient understand and adjust to their new treatment.
Treatment review
Fora Health helps patients evaluate the treatments they're on and review them.
Pathways
Fora Health's pathways are expertly designed and validated to improve the decision making for a variety of preference-sensitive treatment areas. They are adaptive to every patient’s unique situation, and also configurable to fit your clinical workflows.
Patients can be assigned to a pathway in a single click, allowing Fora Health to faciliate the shared decision-making process for that specific condition, enabling you to focus on your patients needs.
