This journal focuses on research related to decision-making processes in healthcare, including shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and providers, the development and evaluation of patient decision aids (PtDAs), and the use of modeling and simulation to inform health policy and clinical practice. Articles explore how individuals make choices about treatments, screening, and health plans, considering factors like patient preferences, values, and the quality of information available. The scope also encompasses the cost-effectiveness of medical interventions and the development of tools to support clinical decision-making in various medical contexts.
