Your organization’s needs, our solutions.

Because patient care should include patient perspective.

Avaz Decisions is an independent organization supporting shared decision making (SDM) between patients and their medical care providers through a collection of comprehensive patient and provider resources.

Patient decision aids

We offer patient decision aids (PDAs) to assist patients and their providers in choosing a fitting medical approach. We have both printed booklets and web/mobile PDA solutions available. Our PDAs for joint replacement surgery have been certified by the Washington State Health Care Authority (WSHCA).

Providers in Washington State may access our certified PDAs for Knee Surgery and Hip Surgery for Osteoarthritis for free until June 2020.
