An independent organization supporting shared decision making (SDM) between patients and their medical care providers through a collection of comprehensive patient and practitioner resources.
When medical conditions need preference-sensitive care, patients and providers decide together.
Avaz Decisions is an independent organization that helps providers implement shared decision making (SDM) for preference-sensitive medical situations. We offer patient decision aids (PDAs) and advisory services for SDM implementation. We can also assist with developing PDAs within your organization and certifying them with the Washington State Health Care Authority.
Our mission
The mission of Avaz Decisions is to make it easier for providers to implement shared decision making, so that they can best support patients who need preference-sensitive medical care.
“With preference-sensitive medical conditions, each patient has unique interests and needs. Our decision aids make it easier for providers and patients to discuss the options and reach an answer together.”
— Jennifer Hadlock, MD, founder of Avaz Decisions
