How to Use Shared Decision-Making to Improve Healthcare

5 min read

Healthcare providers are certainly experts in the field, professionally trained to collect and analyze data on patients and recommend care options they believe best meet patients’ needs. But the patient also plays a role, providing input based on their values and desired health outcomes. The physician-centered approach of the past has begun to evolve, shifting to a more collaborative model called shared decision-making. Let’s take a look at how shared decision-making is improving healthcare.

What Is Shared Decision-Making?

Shared decision-making describes a collaborative communication and decision-making process between a healthcare provider and a patient. During shared decision-making, the provider offers the patient clear, detailed information about their health condition and options for treatment, including the benefits and drawbacks of each course of action. The care team seeks to understand the patient’s concerns and how their values and health goals influence treatment decisions. Together, the patient and physician come to a shared agreement on the best course of action and work collaboratively to implement the decision.

Using the SHARE Approach to Improve Patient-Provider Shared Decision-Making

The SHARE Approach was developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) as a framework to support healthcare providers in integrating shared decision-making into their daily practice. This acronym embodies the best practices that make this approach to physician-facilitated decision-making so effective.

Seek your patient’s participation

The cardinal principle of the SHARE Approach is inviting your patient to engage in the process. They may choose not to, and that’s okay. But every interaction should begin with an invitation to take part in the process. After the problem has been presented, let the patient know there is more than one treatment option and their input is valued.

Help your patient explore and compare treatment options

Options always exist. In nearly every circumstance, there’s more than one possibility for how treatment proceeds. Begin by listing the options in writing, explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each along with the expected outcomes. Avoid medical jargon, use visual aids like charts or graphs, and incorporate decision aid tools to break down complex decisions. Asking your patient to explain in their own words what each option would entail can help you gauge the level of understanding to ensure your patient has an accurate understanding of the choices presented.

Assess your patient’s values and preferences

Discovering what’s important to your patient can help providers guide further discussion on treatment options to reach a medically-sound consensus that aligns with patient values. Start the discussion by asking open-ended questions, responding with empathy as patients share what’s most important to them as it relates to their medical condition and the treatment options available. Demonstrating active listening and empathy helps build patient trust, a key asset needed to move forward with treatment once an agreement has been reached.

Reach a decision with your patient

Once values have been expressed and treatment options presented, ask if the patient is ready to make a decision. They may need additional time to consider what’s been discussed, conferring with family members or others in their support network. If a decision isn’t made, set a date in the near future when their preferred treatment option can be expressed.

Evaluate your patient’s decision

Once a treatment decision has been made and treatment has begun, monitor the effectiveness of the chosen option and identify how well it’s performing. Be prepared to revisit the decision, helping the patient evaluate if additional options need to be considered in light of how the chosen treatment is progressing.

How Does Shared Decision-Making Help Patients and Providers?

Shared decision-making offers numerous advantages to both patients and healthcare providers. This cooperative approach actively engages all stakeholders to create care plans that support medical best practices and align with the needs and values of patients.

Aligns with informed consent best practices

Informed consent is required before any medical care, treatment, or services are provided. Shared decision-making supports the informed consent process by actively engaging the patient in decisions related to achieving their desired health outcomes. As patients and providers collaborate, patients are able to ask questions, receive information on the pros and cons of each option presented, and assist in choosing the one that best aligns with what’s most important to them.

Improves quality of patient care

Shared decision-making combines the expertise of the healthcare provider with the values, concerns, and input of the patient. This process helps to strengthen the trust and confidence the patient has in the quality of care they receive, fostering a stronger patient-provider relationship. By taking time to listen and learn, the healthcare provider gains valuable information about the patient they can use to guide the discussion towards the option most likely to meet the patient’s health objectives.

Helps address disparities in healthcare

Some patients face significant barriers to accessing care. These could include lack of reliable transportation, lack of trust in the healthcare system, significant work or childcare obligations, or concerns about the affordability of proposed treatments. Healthcare providers who take the time to listen are better equipped to refer patients to community resources that can alleviate these constraints or tailor treatment recommendations that take important extenuating circumstances into account.

Boosts patient engagement

Ultimately, a collaborative approach helps boost patient engagement. When patients are listened to and validated, they’re more likely to actively participate in their care. This heightened engagement can take the form of keeping scheduled medical appointments, greater treatment plan compliance, and greater levels of participation in lifestyle changes needed to reach mutually agreed-upon health goals.

Collaboration aligns with new guidance from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to enable real-time, remote patient monitoring (RPM) of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP)

Boston, MA – May 8, 2025 – Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including preeclampsia, impact nearly 15 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. They are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality and are on the rise, with women having babies now twice as likely to develop HDP as their mothers. Today, Babyscripts, the leading virtual maternity care program for managing obstetrics, announced a partnership with Withings Health Solutions, a pioneer in digital health technology, to enhance its remote blood pressure monitoring offering with Withings' accessible devices— addressing this critical public health issue with more options for inclusive, real-time monitoring.

As part of the collaboration, Babyscripts members will now have access to Withings BPM Pro 2, an FDA-cleared cellular blood pressure monitor that enables at-home blood pressure tracking. BPM Pro 2 introduces a first-of-its-kind feature, Patient Insights, which prompts patients to answer a short questionnaire directly on the device screen after taking a reading to gather critical information around symptoms and risk factors. This allows healthcare providers to detect early warning signs of HDP outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling timely intervention—particularly for women in underserved or resource-limited communities.

“Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy develop silently but escalate quickly, which is why real-time home monitoring can be life-saving,” said Antoine Robiliard, Vice President of Withings Health Solutions. “BPM Pro 2 and our Patient Insights feature were designed to go beyond the numbers, capturing symptoms and context from patients at the moment a high reading occurs. We are proud that Babyscripts has chosen Withings Health Solutions to support their proven maternity platform. Using BPM Pro 2, they’re delivering a solution that’s clinically robust, inclusive by design, and built for the realities of pregnancy, when ease, speed, and trust matter most.” 

This announcement comes on the heels of new guidance from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) which advocates for personalized prenatal care, such as routine monitoring of blood pressure and alternative care modalities like telemedicine to improve outcomes for pregnant and postpartum patients.  

“Our decade of research and clinical implementation confirms that positive outcomes are linked to empowering women to monitor their own blood pressure and share data with providers,” said Anish Sebastian, CEO and co-founder of Babyscripts. “Our partnership with Withings expands our reach and inclusivity by offering blood pressure cuffs that accommodate a broad range of body sizes and BMIs—ensuring accurate, equitable care for all patients.”

While many women are educated about recognizable symptoms of HDP—such as persistent headaches or swelling—issues can often present without visible symptoms, making proactive monitoring essential for early detection and critical intervention. This was the case for Meredith Jones,* whose healthy pregnancy took a sudden, life-threatening turn at 38 weeks when she recorded several elevated blood pressure readings. Equipped with a Withings blood pressure cuff and education from Babyscripts, Meredith recognized the warning signs of preeclampsia and sought immediate care. She was admitted to the hospital and induced, ultimately delivering a healthy baby boy.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) with devices like those from Withings Health Solutions provides a practical, scalable way for providers and patients to manage hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). By combining this technology with Babyscripts’ virtual maternity care platform, the two companies are setting a new standard for maternal health—delivering evidence-based solutions that reduce risk and save lives.

Our webinar on remote patient monitoring brought unique perspectives on the common barriers to activation, adherence and staffing, as well as a look at real outcomes—both at a health center and research level. Our panelists brought their experiences to inform a rich discussion about optimizing patient engagement, enhancing care and streamlining clinical operations. Highlights from the conversation have been summarized and detailed below.

 

Dr. AJ Blood, Cardiologist and Associate Director, Accelerator for Clinical Transformation at Mass General Brigham

 

Dr. Blood brought his extensive experience in Remote Patient Monitoring research to the discussion, as well as his experience as a practicing cardiologist in a large hospital system. He highlighted the long wait times patients may face for hypertension care, since care teams can be booked out for months and the urgent need for hypertension monitoring without the confines of a clinic schedule. The health outcomes his research has shown create a compelling argument for healthcare systems to integrate remote patient monitoring. But he also brought color to the discussion by highlighting the need for comprehensive, supportive onboarding for patients in RPM programs, because without it engagement and adherence can suffer. He also emphasized the importance of tailoring care to the patient for optimal engagement, finding a monitoring plan that makes sense for their schedule, as well as supporting them first in attainable healthy habits, and secondly in medication management when needed. 

 

His experience in RPM programs that bill insurance brought financial insight that was highly requested in our question and answer section. 

 

Julie Fraher, BSN, RN, ACRN, Edward M, Kennedy Community Health Center

 

Julie brought a level of insight that can only be gained through on the ground experience in remote patient monitoring. While many attendees laughed as she detailed how her experience in RPM began in tears after being told to build a program from nothing, she now has impressive program outcomes that reminded everyone of the impact that RPM can have. Her dedication to meeting patients where they are at has led her program to adapt reading materials to encompass a broader population, increased the use of telehealth to address barriers, and has created nursing protocols for high readings that allow her care teams to provide care confidently. She provided operational details about how she staffed her program, and the positive feedback that her Chronic Condition Management Nurses have provided now that they have patient blood pressure readings right in their EHR, rather than needing to manually input them, and how RPM alerts have helped them to triage.

 

For more about her program, Withings Health Solutions partnered with her team to create this case study. 

 

Antoine Robiliard, VP, Withings Health Solutions

 

Antoine provided a unique perspective from the technology partner side. His experience in partnering with RPM programs of all sizes gave him valuable insight into the common barriers that can prevent a program from being successful. He championed the patient experience, and the need for devices to be intuitive, sleek, and satisfying the consumer expectations that patients may have. He piggybacked off Dr. Blood’s emphasis on strong onboarding in RPM programs by detailing the benefit of a cellular device, rather than Bluetooth for greater ease, both at the beginning but also throughout the duration of a program. He also brought patient perspective to the discussion in emphasizing that patients do not want to use a product that reminds them of their condition, and highlighted the benefit that a sleek design can bring to clinical care.

 

He brought optimism for the future of RPM by highlighting the potential for greater risk stratification by using combinations of metrics and trend analyses, which could provide care teams a way to triage patients and provide longitudinal monitoring.

World Sleep Day, the annual spotlight on sleep health that promotes education, research and patient care, is being held on March 14. Withings is marking the occasion by highlighting the extensive technology development and research the company is doing to promote better sleep and more accessible sleep diagnostics.

 

Because sleep affects so many chronic conditions - from diabetes, stroke and heart disease to obesity, anxiety and depression -  higher quality sleep is one of the few areas of impact that can universally change human health for the better. 

 

That’s why the Withings team has spent its waking hours for the past several years developing and testing technology to improve global sleep quality. In September, Withings Sleep Rx was given FDA clearance as the first contactless device to aid in the diagnosis of sleep apnea, joining the Withings Sleep Analyzer, a device that is CE marked to diagnose sleep apnea in the EU. 

 

Sleep Rx and the other Withings devices that use the same hardware are being used in major sleep studies around the world. Because the devices are contactless and lay under the patient’s mattress, they enable large-scale studies that would previously have been nearly impossible to conduct. Here is just a sampling of recent research using or related to Withings sleep devices.

 

Cognitive Performance of Critical Shift Workers

Non-daytime shift workers - like nurses, firefighters, mariners, military personnel  and transit drivers - have a 60% greater risk of workplace accidents. Using Withings Sleep Analyzer, which uses the same hardware technology as Sleep Rx, researchers were able to understand the cognitive impacts of different lighting conditions to develop a model for predicting performance under varying sleep conditions and time of day of the sleep.

 

Results supported the utility of simple non-intrusive sleep monitoring via consumer sleep technology to estimate post-sleep work shift performance and safety during non-daytime shift schedules.

How Many Nights of Sleep Data Do We Really Need?

An article in JMIR Formative Research examines how traditional sleep assessments rely on short-term tracking (3–14 days), while a six-month study using Withings’ wearables and sleep sensors suggests this may not be enough. Researchers found that seasonal variations and long-term patterns significantly impact sleep health, reinforcing the importance of continuous monitoring to gain a more accurate picture of sleep behaviors.

The Future of Sleep Research: Large-Scale, Decentralized Studies

An article in Current Sleep Medicine Reports details how the growing adoption of wearable and nearable sleep tech is enabling researchers to shift toward real-world, long-term data collection. Ongoing studies using Withings technology are paving the way for remote clinical trials, enabling deeper insights into sleep disorders and their broader health impacts.
