Shared decision making: new U.S. policies. # Shared decision making as part of value based care: new U.S. policies challenge our readiness. Spatz ES, Elwyn G, Moulton BW, Volk RJ, & Frosch DL. _Z Evid Fortbild Qual Gesundhwes. pii: S1865-9217(17)30087-9. doi: 10.1016/j.zefq.2017.05.012. \[Epub ahead of print\]_ 2017-05-20 ## Abstract Shared decision making in the United States is increasingly being recognized as part of value-based care. During the last decade, several state and federal initiatives have linked shared decision making with reimbursement and increased protection from litigation. Additionally, private and public foundations are increasingly funding studies to identify best practices for moving shared decision making from the research world into clinical practice. These shifts offer opportunities and challenges for ensuring effective implementation.
