The American Medical Association Recognizes Shared Decision Making
By Staff Reporters
Some readers of the ME-P may be surprised to learn that the American Medical Association [AMA] now “recognizes” shared decision making. A document recommending precisely that is available for your reading pleasure here.
Assessment
The AMA also recognizes that shared decision making can make the physician-patient relationship stronger, opposes any effort to link it to insurance coverage and supports more pilot programs.
Of course, with AMA influence waning at less than 18% of allopathic members, and health 2.0 strategic initiatives rising along with a plethora of other related medical professionals, was there even a choice?
As one doctor we interviewed said: “Congratulations AMA for recognizing the obvious and abandoning your command-control philosophy … and welcome to Y 2012.”

NIH Proposes Ethics Survey for Surgeons
Surgeons may soon have a way to report the ethical dilemmas they face in the workplace. The National Institutes of Health’s Department of Bioethics is proposing a 29-item survey that will assess surgeons’ experience with ethical issues as well as their use of hospital ethics consultation services.
According to a notice in the Nov. 28 Federal Register, the results from the survey could be used to shed light on factors that affect utilization patterns for ethics consultation services. It could also help to identify ways to improve such services for surgeons, the NIH said in the notice.
