Abstract
- The article focuses on the option of shared decision making offered to patients instead of the earlier conventional consent procedures, particularly for hip replacement and knee osteoarthritis. It discusses how the physician reviews the options, also informing the patients about the risks involved in the treatment option. It also talks about the legislative route by Washington State encouraging shared decision making.
