Shared
Shared (pronounced: /ʃɛərd/) is a term used in various fields of medicine to denote a condition, resource, or responsibility that is jointly held or experienced by two or more parties. The term is derived from the Old English 'scearu', which means 'to cut, divide, or separate'.
In the context of healthcare, 'shared' often refers to collaborative practices such as Shared Decision Making, Shared Care, and Shared Medical Appointments.
Shared Decision Making (SDM) is a process in which clinicians and patients work together to make decisions and select tests, treatments, and care plans based on clinical evidence that balances risks and expected outcomes with patient preferences and values.
Shared Care is a model of healthcare where a person's healthcare is provided by a number of healthcare providers working together, possibly including both specialist and general practitioners. This model is designed to provide a more integrated and comprehensive approach to patient care.
Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) are a series of individual medical appointments conducted in a group setting. They are designed to improve patient access to healthcare, increase patient knowledge about their condition, and provide peer support.
